I like the idea of adding Jacob Larsson, but I don't see the Leafs parting with any of their 1st round draft picks in the next few years. They want long term sustainability and that goes a long way to making that happen. Anaheim is in a tough position because they need speed and offense and really, though ironic, I think Jake Gardiner would help them and be complementary to their more defence-first defencemen, specifically Josh Manson. Gardiner for Larsson 1-for-1 probably won't work because of their cap, so we would have to take back salary. Alternatively, maybe the Leafs part with Brown and do a 1-for-1 that way.

Totally agree with everything you said there. Just monkeying around a little bit.
