Then so does the other team. True #1 D's are guys like Karlsson, Weber, Pietrangelo, Doughty, etc. Like it or not (and I really, really like Landeskog), top line wingers don't have the same value as a top pairing Dman, just like top line wingers don't have the same value of a true top line center, because #1 Dmen and centers are much, much harder to find then top line wingers.
If you want to acquire a huge asset like a #1 D, you have to give up something that hurts, and that would be Landeskog+. I doubt that the GMs of the teams for any of the Dmen I mentioned above would trade any of those Dmen for Landeskog unless the Avs added to him.
