Gardiner and Dermott have better metrics than Rielly if we use your logic they are better dmen...
Do they? Which ones?

I had a dream last night that we traded Brown for Puljujarvi - Maybe I'm psychic, and that's what they were discussing.Oilers media guys have already tweeted at Jimmy Murphy calling him out because Larsson was never brought up at all.
It's BS.

He also had experience playing with #97.Murphy is a terrible source/insider. He's eklund level.
With that said, the Oilers having interest in Brown shouldn't be a surprise. They desperately need wingers. He's capable of putting up better offensive numbers with more minutes as well. He would be a great "buy low" for a team like the Oilers.
Brown + Zaitsev for Larsson + Puljujarvi
Seems fair to me
Larsson is a top pairing d'man and much better than Muzzin
Well we have other player(s) that can chip in offensively on the back end. Leafs need a reliable heavy duty player on the back end that is reliable and throws his weight around. Kinda like Jake Muzzin but playing on his actual respected side-on the right hand side. Larssons addition will totally revamp our back end and completely solidify this team. Nonetheless, connor brown being tossed around related to Larsson is a complete head scratcher and seems totally screwed up to me. Brown is useless so maybe this isnt credible information being tossed around. Typically you have to give to get.Oilers fan here.
A Brown/Larsson deal is just not happening. Would you do Muzzin for Khaira/Kassian? Not to mention the awful value, if we trade Larsson our best RHD is Matt Benning. Gross.
Anyway, here's the scoop on Larsson. I think he'd be a great addition on the Leafs. He is very physical and would probably be your best defensive defenseman. The issue is his offense. His offensive iq is pretty bad, and he's got a muffin of a shot. That said, he can be a complimentary top-pairing defenseman if he's playing with someone better than him that can provide offense. Otherwise he's an average #3. And because the Leafs have good offensive LHD, I think he'd be a great fit there. He'd be an incredible fit with Rielly, and would stabilize a Gardiner pairing.
Pretty much sums up my thoughts. The only deal I see between the Leafs and Oilers is Brown for Kassian + a 4th, or a 3rd straight up. Maybe Pulju+ for Johnsson during the offseason if their having cap trouble.Well we have other player(s) that can chip in offensively on the back end.

Offseason preview?
This is likely the big deal that was alluded to on the radio by Johnston
Ya its mind boggling.Could you imagine
Hall for Larsen
Larsen for Brown +
Hall = Brown +?
Sorry to burst your bubble guys, but this completely BS. He isn't an insider. Rishaug is, and he said they were discussing a Brown for Benning trade.
Brown doesn't come close to Larsson.
This clearly ends the debate! well saidNo, Larsson is an average #4.
