San Jose Sharks defenseman Timothy Liljegren has been talked about often as a trade candidate. He will be a player to watch once the NHL trade freeze ends because of it.

Due to this, let's take a look at three teams that could make sense as landing spots for Liljegren. 

Pittsburgh Penguins 

The Penguins may not have had many believers heading into the season, but they have been proving their doubters wrong. They currently are second in the Metropolitan Division standings and could end up being buyers because of it. With the Penguins needing more depth on their right side, perhaps they could take a chance on Liljegren. Penguins GM Kyle Dubas and Liljegren also have history due to their Toronto Maple Leafs days. 

Detroit Red Wings 

The Red Wings should be on the hunt for a right-shot defenseman, and Liljegren could make sense as a target for them. If they acquired him, he would have the potential to give them a bit of an upgrade on their bottom pairing as they look to break their nine-year playoff drought. 

Buffalo Sabres 

The Sabres also stand out as a possible landing spot for Liljegren. It is no secret that the Sabres should be looking to improve their depth on the right side of their blueline, and bringing in Liljegren would provide them with just that.
