It's tough. Mcavoy looks to be another stud type dman but hasn't proved it. Personally I would hold onto both with the hopes that Carlo becomes something like our version of peitrangelo and Mcavoy becomes almost like a shattenkirk for us.
Obviously those are lofty expectations but I think it best to hold onto both, especially with Chara retiring eventually, and no other great talent outside of our recent draft picks.
I love Lando but the only way you could even make me think of including one of the two D men Duchene's name would have to be on the other side.
It's a tough decision when you have the opportunity to address a real need for the team up front vs. a real need on the blueline. I'd not do Lando for Carlo, but I might think about McAvoy. For all the upside and good press and obvious talent, he may or may not make it, or more likely, not end up being what we want him to be. We also have some other nice d prospects that for all we know could be better than McAvoy at the NHL level. Lindgren, Lauzon, Grizz, O'Gara- our cupboards are nicely stocked in that area.
On the other hand, you could argue that so is our forward cupboard so why deal McAvoy or Carlo when you have Senyshyn, Cehlarik, Bjork et al. that might give us as much as Lando would.
It's a tough call-that's why they pay Sweeney the big bucks I guess
