[RUMOUR] Adam Larsson on the trade block


Recommended Posts

Adam Larsson of Kraken Being Targeted in Trade Talks (msn.com)

 

One team that could be an interesting fit is Vancouver. They would love to add someone of Larsson’s pedigree and are still looking for help on the blue line. Vancouver isn’t terribly far from Seattle and the Canucks might consider trading Andrei Kuzmenko.

 

Love me some Adam Larsson.  And he's Swedish too.  C'mon Allvin, we all know you want this guy.  Pull the trigger baby...

 

Would you do Kuzmenko for Larsson straight up?

He's still 3 years younger than Cole or Myers.  And only a few months older than Miller.  At the end of the day, he fits our window, which is now.


He would cost too much for a rental who’s gonna be over the hill in a few years.

 

Pass.

He'll be 32 in two days, has a couple years left on his deal. Great cap hit and probably contributes well over the remainder of his deal though. 

 

I suppose the question is what the cost would be, and whether they'd actually trade with us. 

 

A Kuzmenko for Larsson trade could potentially work, but like Deniro said I'd rather go after a longer-term assest if we're trading Kuzmenko. 

 

You could argue he fits a window now, I'd argue we'd be better served by looking for an option that better fits a longer window. 


Yep can’t be thinking that short term.

 

Our window should really be opening a few years from now.

He has another year left on his contract and as we saw with Zadorov, I think the price for rentals has come down, largely due to the amount of work teams have to do to acquire them when there's no cap space.

 

Not saying that he's the guy we should go after, but I think rentals, this year at least, are going to be cheaper than a lot of people think.

If management doesn’t believe Kuzmenko can play the way they need him to then I absolutely make that trade. Larsson is a guy I’ve been after for a while now

Teams need older, veteran guys in the lineup if they're Cup contenders. 

 

Hughes - Hronek

Zadorov - Larsson

Cole - Myers

Soucy

 

(Friedman, Juulsen, Irwin)

 

Exactly.  Look at Pittsburgh in 2016 and 2017.  This was Pittsburgh's lineup in the playoffs in 2016 when they won the first cup.  Every player in the top 10 in scoring in the playoffs was at least 27 years old.  Kunitz was 36.  Cullen was 39.  JR is building the same team here that he built with Pittsburgh.  He's taking the core and building around it with veterans like he did with Pittsburgh...

Maybe we’re arguing semantics right now.

 

When I say contender I mean cup contender not playoff contender. Meaning they’ve made the playoffs a few years in a row and are ready to compete for a cup. They’re not there yet.

 

I think you're probably right 

 

I'm not even seriously willing to talk about contention until we make the playoffs at least a couple seasons in a row 

 

The odds of us waltzing back into the playoffs and heading straight to a conference or cup final aren't very good, more than likely we'll have to beat our heads against the playoff wall the way other championship teams over the past decade have 

 

There are teams trying to become playoff regulars and then there are contenders, we aren't a contender

One thing we do know and that’s we still need help on d and if we can move someone expendable to acquire said defenceman, we should do it. Whether it’s sending them Kuzmenko or Garland, I don’t care. We have guys in Abby who can replace them on much cheaper contracts, whether it be Podkolzin or Bains.
