Confirmed Trade: [NJD/EDM] Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson

[Chez Weber]

Holy ****

Straight up? Oilers got fleeced

 

[TruGr1t]

As expected the Oilers had to drastically overpay to address the blue line.

 

[SettlementRichie10]

Larsson is a great young defenseman. What's the problem?

 

[OriginJM]

Larsson is underwhelming and will top out as an above-average top 4 kind of guy

oilers have lost their minds if they really think this kid will turn anything around

 

[Avs44]

There's got to be more coming with Larsson, right...?

 

[Ace]

I mean...he may have topped the Seguin trade lol.

He also traded a 1st for Griffin Reinhart

 

[hockeykicker]

sounds like it is a 1 for 1 trade

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

ud think Chia woulda learned his lesson with Seguin lol

 

[Canada4Gold]

Straight up? Damn, I get the Oilers needed to move someone for D, guess the market was terrible.

 

[Dr Pepper]

They should have drafed Larsson instead of RNH

Totally.

Edmonton kept snagging the shiny forward, one after the other, without realizing that teams need competent defense as well.

 

[SI90]

That better be a nice + or EDM fans will riot.

 

[Crede777]

Hall's gonna score 40 goals this season.

 

[thecloser]

if this is Larson for Hall straight up....oh my God!

(insert Steve Carrell - god no, please god no, gif here.)

 

[TheOllieC]

Even I thought Hall could get somewhat close to a Faulk/Carlson level d-man.

Sorry Edmonton fans. Awful.

 

[mpp9]

EDM better hope Larsson gets a whole lot better. Never was that impressed with the kid, and my team plays him a hanful of times/year.

 

[goonybird]

Oilers fans shouldn't be upset. They'll realize how good Larsson is immediately.

 

[Timo Time]

What a horrible trade

 

[LeonDraisaitl]

Please God no

 

[Jimmy Firecracker]

Oh jeez Edmonton...

 

[seabass45]

Isles fans looking at Oilers fans like

 

[Ace]

This might be the worst trade in the past 10 years lol

The worst since the Seguin trade

 

[SLAPSHOT723]

Okay straight up is pathetic for Edmonton. Although I don't particularly like Hall you would've thought his value is much higher than that.

 

[Kevin27NYI]

Could have had Hamonic months ago.

 

[N o o d l e s]

20 minutes ago Taylor Hall was an overpaid one dimensional injury prone winger with rumoured attitude issues. Now he's a god

And Larsson was unacquirable because the price would be so high

 

[Avs44]

TSN says it's a package deal
