From TSN, it begins...
The Avalanche sent the defenceman to the Maple Leafs in exchange for Toronto's second round draft pick in 2012. That draft pick was acquired when the Leafs dealt Tomas Kaberle to the Bruins last year.
Liles has been with the Avs for all seven of his seasons in the NHL. Last year, he posted six goals and 40 assists in 76 games.
The 30-year-old has 68 goals and 207 assists in 523 career games.
Liles has one year remaining on his contract at $4.5 million, with a cap hit at $4.2 million
I like it. What say you?
BTW, the Maple Leafs 2011/12 Season Countdown Clock is live. There's 104 days, 2 hours, 15 minutes, and 4 seconds left until the puck drops!
