This is quickly becoming my favorite package even possible personally.
I'm pretty high on Larsson as well. He's that typcial Swedish defender in that he's been so well trained in the small details of the game that it's almost effortless for him. Like Lindholm for us but he has so much more skill to go along with that attention to detail.
I'm not sure Larsson has #1D potential but I do think he could be a top pairing guy one day and would be a really fantastic add to our back end.
The 1st from Anaheim would almost certainly be in the low 20s with Duchene but I dont really care. This years draft is very deep and we'd still have an opportunity to draft a quality prospect with that pick and it would allow us to get a Dman and a forward(Or perhaps a Goalie?) out of the first round next year.
I like Jones because of his physicality but I'm not convinced he's going to be a Top 6 player in the NHL. I still added him because of that physical game and size he would bring which could be huge for our bottom 6 in the future if nothing else. As was already suggested a 3rd line that had Greer and Jones on the wing would be the toughest line to face in hockey regardless of the Center.
But if it meant getting Larsson and the 1st I'd move off of Jones to someone like Comtois instead.
Yeah, the more I think about it the more this deal grows on me. And it really makes a tonne of sense for both sides. Duchene would make for the perfect 2C behind Getzlaf and give Anaheim some ridiculous Center depth with Kesler as the shutdown pot stirring 3C. And with Lindholm/Fowler signed long term they have to recognize at some point Larsson will want an opportunity he might not be able to get in Anaheim.
Come on Joe, two scouts at the game last night is a pretty strong possibility that talks are occurring between the two sides. Make this happen.
