I get where you’re coming from, but Nylander isn’t going to ever be confused with Hall. This isn’t that trade by a long shot. If we “know what Nylander is” then you don’t have anything to worry about. We definitely know what Pesce is.Leafs assume more risk. You know what Nylander is. Teams have been burned by defense-only defenseman before. I don't doubt Pesce is fantastic but until we can quantify defense better and more independently from the system I'm not comfortable walking into what could easily be another Hall for Larsson.
You don't have to agree, that's fine. But you should be able to see where I'm coming from.
