Potential top 4 RHD – Adam Larsson. Montour signed with Seattle, Larsson might be expendable, one more year at 4M, 31, Swede, 6’3, workhorse. Could be stop gap until ASP comes up. Tons of blocked shots. (Stats from 3 years ago).
Will Borgen, another RHD, making 5.4M for another season, who is 4 years younger, similar type of player to Larsson
Signing Montour makes Larsson expendable
I don’t know if Seattle wants to extend him after this contract
But we can extend him as Petry will be off the books next summer. We can sign him to 4M by 2 to 3 years. He can slide down to the third pair if ASP makes the huge jump

How so expendable given their opposite skillsets?
Also seattle hoping to compete
Now the D market is super thin reckon you have to overpay teams alot and almost all teams are looking to compete oddly
Even SJ and chi for some reason
This is why my post inferred what it did fwiw
Very unique time
Almost 30 teams going forward, to whatever degree

Solid idea. I prefer Manson though

Are you saying we should trade for him, or sign him in FA next year?

I could realistically see this, appreciate someone throwing someone other than Ekblad and Trouba out there as most of us know any potential of those deals are dead and gone.

Yeah I would love a player like Larsson on the team.

Not related to us, but remember the 1-for-1 trade with Hall? That was insane. Then Hall goes on to win the Hart the following season!

Stats from 3 years ago makes them meaningless.
