The Avs should take Larsson because he's the consensus BPA at no.2. The value of a franchise D-man also outweighs that of a winger. And Landeskog doesn't really impress me because he physically dominates his opponents to score goals but I don't believe that will translate so well to the NHL.
As for PP time and pairings, who cares? As it is, EJ, Mueller, Liles, Elliot, Barrie....thats a cluster**** at PP QB. Larsson just gives more options.
And Larsson ideally should provide less offense more more poise in the defensive zone. If EJ is our new Blake, Larsson can be a Bourque...not as flashy and offensive, but just better everywhere. I don't see EJ and Larsson as pairing up. For now, the D would look like this:
Quincey - EJ
Liles - Larsson
Elliot/Barrie - OByrne
But is he the Avs BPA at 2? Who knows? And to be honest, I wouldn't be at all shocked if he wasn't.
