If Larsson re-signs, then I'd maybe consider it.

I'd rather keep larsson, but if bouchard steps up I wouldn't be opposed to it.

I have a tough time justifying signing AA personally don’t think he brings anything to the team.
Green if that’s what he wants it’s too much for me.
I wouldn’t move Larsson he fits in with the group well also brings an element of the game the others don’t have.

I think value is pretty fair on Dallas deal, but Larsson wouldn't be first target in a trade. We do need RD, but would prefer someone who could push Klinger more to 2nd pairing if can find. Understood price will be higher, Faksa would be one piece, then becomes what other teams may be willing to part with that type of player, and at what additional cost. Options certainly aren't plenty.

Heiskanen-Larsson
Lindell-Klingberg

would be pretty good top 2 pairings

NJ declines

We don’t draft well enough to have the pieces to get a high end RHD. Fox for an extended Larsson does good things for both teams imo

As long as the extension is made after 2020-21 season.

Otherwise we'd just lose the guy to Seattle.

Guess I'm just not sold Larsson is a top pair guy, if we made this deal imo Klinger likely stays up and plays with Miro majority of time.

Certainly changes current dynamic. Not my favorite option, but could work.

For sure. Personally I’m very curious what Risto might look like with a high end partner like Miro and our strong forward support. Larsson or Risto or other right handed options make for some nice balance on the back end

Or trade Lindell before the expansion for a young exempt forward. Assuming Harley is as good as I think he will be. Would leave us with

Miro-Klinger
Harley-Larsson

Meh. I'd rather keep Lindell. I dig the guy.

Risto would be closer to what I'd like to see as well

Wouldn't larsson just be replacement for kilngberg since they can't resign him

Huh?

Fair. I just see a future left side of Miro and Harley. Obv Harley still has to show he can handle top four minutes

I wouldn’t be against giving Risto or Gardiner a look. I have no idea what Gardiner would be worth irl but seems like him being moved for a third round pick is pretty common around here. Which could be a steal for a guy that puts up positive possession numbers and has put up some pretty serious points in the past. And like Risto, could do well with a partner like Miro and strong forward support in his own end. We have too many guys that don’t have a strong possession game. I was actually surprised to hear this coming out of Bowness’ mouth but we are too “one and done” on offense and aren’t generating offensive possession and high danger chances. Gardiner for a third is a price I could live with and wouldn’t be overly upset if we lost him protecting Lindell

hmmm...Gardiner is tough for me. I like him on a 2nd PP unit, but I don't love his consistency 5v5. One interesting option someone put on here was Montour. Personally I love that idea. Would make things really difficult come expansion draft, but if you get the guy you want you're going to have tough decisions anyway. Thoughts?

I’ve always loved Montour. His price tag would be quite a bit higher tho. They gave up a first rounder to get him
