Description

Bouchard looked really good in his 1st game this season and I believe he deserves a shot full time on that 3rd D pairing. I traded Larsson because I’ve never liked him and adding another depth piece with potential scoring (not necessarily rakell I just couldn’t think of who else would be a good depth piece) could really take some of the load off of mcdavid and Draisaitl. I’d love to hear some feedback with either Bouchard playing full time or getting rid of Larsson.

Anaheim would ask for more. Larsson is a UFA at seasons end.

I know Rakell's value is low right now, but there's a strong chance he bounces back (he's still getting lots of grade A chances). I don't expect Anaheim will trade him when his value is this low, they'll wait it out. But I agree that Bouch deserves more games. But right now I think our best bet is to occasionally play 7 dmen, and just not rush any of our dmen back from injury.
