Trade Bait.
I would agree in the sense that almost everyone not named Risto, Girgs, Reinhart, 2015 1st is potential trade bait.
But in terms of Murray, and his player preferences/the team he's stated he wants to build... Larsson is a very good fit.
Larsson plays a hard, puck dominant, 2 way game. While we are all excited about the depth of higher end "skill" players (Reinhart, Kane, Ennis, 2015 1st), there is still a deep need for the "glue" guys. Outside of Girgensons, there really aren't any others in the near term in the pipeline save for Compher.
Sure, Larsson is trade bait if we are acquiring O'reilly for that role. Or someone else to fill it... but until then, and until our youth develops into bigger roles, Larsson is turning into a perfect bridge player. He's proving he can be a top 6 center on a terrible team, but his skills clearly indicate that he can move around and down the lineup as needed through the rebuild.
