A late 1st and Liljegren isn't convincing them.
If Toronto asks about Doughty, the reply is Matthews.

What if that defenseman doesn't really want to be there anymore? I think DD is one of the top D men in the NHL but if the Kings asked for Matthews Toronto hangs up. The best D man in the NHL at 28 is not as valuable to you if you are looking at an extended length of not contending compared to some very good young assets
