Radar Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I'm becoming convinced that we have to make trades if we are going to get anything we need. Free agency is pretty much drying up it appears. Maybe we're in running for Tofoli or Hall but I don't have much faith in that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
#freejame Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 If Larsson is as valuable as everyone says he is why is it I haven’t seen his name around anywhere? Shouldn’t teams be all over him? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure he'll find a home and he'll make them very happy if they actually have a roster capable of maximizing what he allows for. There are plenty of good players who have no signed Edited October 9, 2020 by Thorny Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Radar Posted October 9, 2020 Report Share Posted October 9, 2020 I've never been big on using free agency but I think we've been put in a place where we needed to make one significant hit this year. We are at this point worst on paper than last season and that's factoring in the Stall deal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose that we should allow for the possibility that he actually isn't as valuable in the opinion of the professional talent evaluators as he is by a few on this board though, no? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not up to me to decide what you or anyone else should "allow" for. I don't feel much inclination to reign in my personal opinion of Larsson because I'm not a professional talent evaluator Larsson absolutely is underrated by some "professional talent evaluators, imo. My position already allowed for that. That he's underrated has always been central to my view, ie, he's not as valuable in the eyes of the people you mentioned as I think he should be.

His value is buried under an Everest of D usage. But this value was value to a team who has lacked talent and perennially under performed year after year.

Generally players that are great on bad teams find the transition to good teams easier, where they'll actually have support, than players who were useful on a good team being moved to a new team, that asks more from them. More from them than they are capable of. We've given the league a pretty good idea of how much Larsson can be stretched defensively and not break. Look at the numbers. He didn't break.

But in Buffalo if he was routinely use to shut down the first line, and that was his value to us, is that his value to a better team? Maybe they have better players in that role and thus his value to them is less. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
