His peak was absolutely a top pairing defenseman. That's the role he had in the three years I looked at and he was extremely successful while playing very tough minutes vs the best players on the opposition.Calling Larson a legitimate top pairing defenseman is a bit of a stretch. His peak in his career has been a #3 guy, Chiarelli gambled he'd become a#2 and lost.
That's more a guy who can play on your top pairing than a legitimate top pairing defenseman.
With his injury history and only 2 years left on his deal if you can get a forward like Connor for him I think you do it.

Agreed. Larsson is the player to move.
Nurse, Klef, Russell - left side is fine
Bouchard, Benning, Jones is on the right.
Sink or swim for Bouchard, but Bouchard is no worse than Larsson at this stage.
That right side is terrible.
I'm no Larsson fan ... but that right side is terrible.

But Matt Benning?We should trade exactly 0 of our 4 acceptable level NHL defenders.
The group we have is probably not even good enough when everyone is playing.

But Matt Benning?
Connor for Larsson?
Connor 66 points - 22 years old - RFA with rights for years.
Larsson? 15-20 points (maybe) 26 years old - UFA in two seasons.
No brainer to trade for Connor if you can get him for Larsson straight up.
Nobody gives a **** about the Calgary Puck board.
It's also a no brainer to trade Larsson for MacKinnon but they're about equally likely to happen.
If Benning is your bottom pair it doesn't hurt that much. The guy is actually pretty solid defensivly.But Matt Benning?
Watch Holland work his magic.
Kassian / Drai / McDavid
Connor / RNH / Neal
Nurse
Klef / Russell
Jones / Bouchard
Only hole is #1 RHD. This could be any warm body who can cover the front of the net on a consistent basis.
Benning is out, so you trade him along with a prospect and a pick for an aging RHD who can play for a year.
Larsson, Benning, B prospect and a pick for Connor and a decent aging RHD.
Manning can play the right as well.
Manning can play the right as well.
Benning is awful and if one of our up and comers cannot wrest a position away from him thus camp it says alot about us overvaluing our younger blue lines imo.
If you are going to have a #6 guy have a guy with more offensive upside that can help on the pp.
I find it funny that people think Larsson and RNH hold a ton of value, when Eberle with 2 years left on his deal returned Ryan Strome.
