Man, the guy sounds like he has no idea what he is talking about.... Trading a elite winger for good 2nd dman is a terrible trade... in the video looks like he regrets it already haha

Chia in that post trade presser looked pathetic.
He looks like a man who realized he made a massive blunder.
"he's not a sexy defensman"...... he's literally admitting he got back a lesser asset.

I'd say Stralman if everything goes right probably not as good offensively. A good #2D.

Professional Winner.
The difference between Gudbranson and Larsson is not the same as the difference between McCann + 33 and Taylor Hall.

The only thing I'm taking away from this thread is that Oiler fans need to watch teams other than their own every once and a while. Perspective is always a good thing.

Oh my Chiarelli, what are you doing. Edmonton fans calling Larsson ''elite'', and NJ fans calling him ''vastly underrated'' on here still doesn't justify doing this 1-1 trade at all. Edmonton got hosed, and Hall will turn into a stud with the Devils. I wonder what Benning in Vancouver is up to....

Cannot stress this enough. Taylor Hall is extremely underrated and a top 10 winger in the NHL

In what world is larsson better than a young, top pairing d man, who matches up against the best players of every team every night, and helped lead his team to the second round?
Oh, in edmontons world. They are finishing bottom 5 guaranteed
I am completely dumbfounded how the Oilers would take on an inferior player in Larsson because they're scared of keeping Hall in West for Shattenkirk.
As I told some of the Oiler fans here, if Barrie was ever getting traded, he would be worth Leon. Defenders are just worth more and this just proves it.

Oh he is but 30 points isn't a huge gap and then you add pulju and Larsson.
So yes Edmonton loses the trade, but they get better.
Now. If lucic ends up not signing then Edmonton loses a lot of offense.
As an aside hall has 16 more pp points with 100 more minutes than lucic.
Neither gap is earth shattering. And add in only 4 years age gap.
I really do think Edmonton got better. Not because they lost hall but what that space got them plus Larsson/pulju

This is becoming more and more apparent but in reality this is just a really lopsided trade in terms of value. Hall is basically Kessel last year (only younger, cheaper and better) in that Chia knew he needed to shake up the core but so did the entire league so getting fair value for his tenured forwards just wasn't happening. Larsson should be a legit top pairing D man sooner than late but Hall is a top 3-5 LW in the league. Hopefully Larsson pans out and ultimately the team makes the playoffs next year because you know a pissed off Hall will be getting his 70+ points and finishing top 10 in NHL scoring.
Ehh, I doubt he'll ever reach Vlasic level. Right now he's no offense and good enough defense. He's got a long way to go.

No way Larsson reaches Vlasic. Vlasic has been a top shut down d man since year 1, improving steadily over time.

so you don't do the trade .... and do what exactly? Sign Demers for 6 million? Maybe he wouldn't even come here. Seems like if we cling to our players for dear life there's a good chance we don't end up with the defenseman we need. Larsson is bare minimum since he was top pairing in NJ at least, and has potential to be even better. Demers is sub-minimum, along with all our other options atm. So then it's another year of waiting around for the perfect deal

The only way Edmonton get Lucic is if they pay him 6 M a year which they are most likely going to do, otherwise Lucic is going back home to Vancouver. Even Lucic + Larsson doesn't get you Hall production over the years.
