Well im glad the 1st and the prospect dont matter to you to much...cause quite honestly i wouldnt do the trade with them. Hamonic OR Pulock (with POSSIBLY a pick involved as well). Do we think Duchene is better than Hall? And by how much would ya say? Would love to Duchene in an Islanders uniform but think Barzal/Pulock+Hamonic + 1st rounder is obsurd. Hall for Larsson straight up but Duchene is gonna cost what????:dunce:

Hall and Duchene have the same value roughly, and Larsson was a proven top pairing shutdown player at that time. Hamonic is more of a #3D and plays on the right side and would be behind our two best Dmen. We need a LD not a RD. And Pulock while having decent upside isn't a top pairing guy, and you'd be getting Duchene who's a #1C or #1W. There's risk in trading Duchene for no guranteed NHL player.

Did you really just call Larsson a proven top pairing?

I would take larsson over hamonic or pulock. But also have to take into account that oilers knew that mcdavid was going to turn the franchise around if they can just get some defense. Hall was an overpayment to aquire larsson but it made sense. No matter who avs aquire, they wont be competive for at least a few years. Gives them a little more leverage than oilers had
