I am of the opinion that Larsson doesn't help you compete. He's best suited to be the 4th best defenceman on your team or lower even. On top of that, you aren't going to compete this season and probably not next either, if you try to, you'll spend assets and cap space for overpriced depth players that will disappoint and you'll be in an even worse position than you are now. Which is why I think there should be retool, get rid of guys who are not going to help push the needle foward and older players and draft and develop better. Edmonton's old boys club has had the mentality that young players will find their way or not by their own volition, while most of the rest of the hockey world understands that if you put a huge priority on developing young players more of them will turn pro. Edmonton hasn't had a guy picked outside of the 1st round that has made an impact for over a decade. That is why they are a mess. And there are no quick fixes from that sort of problem.
