Niemelä's an interesting prospect, but he's a very different type of defender than Larsson, so he's not likely to be able to replace what Larsson does directly in the long run. McMann could be a good depth scorer if he replicates his past season, but that's no guarantee and not something worth sacrificing a top four RHD for, even though Seattle could use more scoring help.
Overall, the package as a whole really isn't enticing enough to get Seattle to move Larsson in the offseason. He'd net them more than this as a deadline rental, and that's assuming Seattle would even be willing to trade him. They're aiming for a postseason return, and Larsson will be a key contributor to that. I doubt Seattle is going to be all that open to dealing him given that fact.
