Larsson.
Oh and FYI islanders decided they were not gonna do hall for hamonic straight up.
That's the value of a top pairing dman.
Islanders or Islanders fans?
Just listening to Gregor, Brownlee and Rishaug i was stunned when Gregor said he would've given up Hall+ for Hamonic rather than what we actually did. Nothing against Hamonic, but is he really that more valuable than Larsson?
I think this is the best angle to try and 'sell' this trade. Still a ****** trade, but Larsson is younger and has posted better defensive numbers this past year, so I'll take him I suppose.
Hamonic is cheaper and more physical though.

Hamonic, without a doubt.
He's actually proved he can handle top pairing competition defensively and is a better puck-mover.
Larsson may have the potential to be better, but he's definitely not a better defenseman right now.
Larsson, no question. Bigger upside and by all accounts was on Hamonic's level last season. People don't want to believe this because we traded Hall for him though.
Larsson played on the top pairing all year and ate all the minutes against guys like Crosby, giroux, and Ovie, and he faired pretty damn well.
People need to stop with the whole "he's barely a number 3/4"
