Offer sheets are taboo because you inherently need to overpay the player in order to make them successful. In this case, giving a defenseman who has yet to play a complete NHL season, and the time he did spend playing he was on the 3rd pair, who still thinks the game a bit too slowly and has trouble covering his man in front of the net. People are high on Liljegren because his underlying numbers look good and Toronto media hypes him up but he's far from a sure bet to be able to excel in a bigger role and earn this kind of money.
