The Hall for Larsson equivalent today would be Draisaitl for some mediocre D-man.
No one would've had that much of a problem giving away draft picks for some proven defensive help circa 2015. But giving away your 2nd freaking best player at the time for Adam Larsson was stupid.
I'm fine with dealing picks and futures for win now options. We've been hoarding picks and prospects for 13-14 years now.
Sadly we've not been hoarding picks and prospects... it's just that our notable trades of them have not gone well.
I'm good with trading them now, too, but it's gotta be for people that we can fit into our cap structure and plan.
I'm not Holland, so I don't know if Hall does or doesn't fit the plan. But I do believe that trading for 45 games of him wouldn't really change that.... and one of Broberg or Bouchard must be a part of our plan or we will never have a #1D... we certainly can't afford to sign one in UFA and they are rarely traded.
