A late 1st and Liljegren isn't convincing them.

Because you need to rebuild and you need a bunch of young good pieces to build around, not just one superstar. L.A. is starved for offensive prospects, so Nylander is a great fit for their rebuild.
I actually think it makes a lot of sense, I just don't know if the Leafs have enough pieces to make that deal happen.
