Sure but Hall is good enough to move pass that. Also think that Tanev is the better defensive defensemen.
Tanev is also older, but yeah Tanev is an excellent defensive Dman. I was backing how good Tanev was in one of the Leafs/Canucks trade threads around Tanev.
I think Larsson is a little more physical which is a pleasant surprise. I would agree, right now Tanev is likely ahead of Larsson overall. Tanev is among the top defensive Dmen, a legit top pairing #2.
A big thing for Chia was the age of Larsson, he's 23 (24 in a week) and that's right around the age where Dmen start to come into their own. He's signed with 5 years left on his contract to a very favourable cap hit as well.
I think it comes down to need, we really need a playmaking RHD who can play big PP minutes. Value is fair in a Tanev for Nuge swap, but I don't think we could do it. Nuge also faces heavy defensive match ups and we would have a massive hole at centre with him gone.
