Adam Larsson or Nino Neidereiter
 

This is for the team in my sig.

Who would you take?

Give me Larsson. He's going to be #1 D-man in New Jersey for the next 10+ years. You may need to wait a bit for him to start to produce offensively but it's not like El Nino is storming out of the gates either.

Definitely go with Larsson here.

Neither will impress in the short term...but I gotta go with Larsson...although your D looks pretty good right now as it is.

Probably Larsson, but in a points only league... I might see if someone thinks he's the next Paul Coffey and roll with Niederieter and whatever I can get for Larsson.

Larsson for me.

Bingo! Nino is doing well in the AHL right now and may finally begin his upswing in the NHL. But I'd lay my money on Larsson having a more promising NHL career. In the long term, he's your best bet.

At this point, I'd roll with Larsson as well. Might take a little longer to develop, but he should be rock solid.

Going with the consensus on Larsson.

You're team already has alot of variables to deal with in players who might never make it to the next level (Gagner, Stewart, Booth), injury proned (Mueller), and needing to establish chemistry on new team (Parenteau). Larsson's spot on New Jersey is secure and he will be given the opportunities to succeed. Nino, well he's on a team loaded with young forwards all fighting for playing time.



Coincidently, great thread title.

Give me Larsson as well. Nino has upside and all, but he will have some stiff competetion in NYI. Stome, Kabanov etc.
