While Benning may not be just the Defenseman the Sabres need, he a good addition. Last year:
he led Edmonton D-men with 8.2 hits/60.
he had only 45.8% OZstarts but had the best Defenseman PDO 1028.
Larsson is just the Defenseman that should be paired with Dahlin, for obvious reasons.
Puljujarvi could be a huge sleeper and may have the more potential than Mittelstadt.
I break the trade down as:
Ristolainen PP specialist for Larsson shut down specialist
Lazar potential for Puljujarvi potential
Hickey and 4th for Benning
IMO Buffalo wins all three.
I am not thrilled with trading Ristolainen but if this is the return, I am all in.
A defenseman who was traded for Hall one to one.
A forward taken 4 overall in 2016
A physical 6/7th defenseman,
I would gamble on Puljujarvi and make this trade.
