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

[Puckclektr]

People seriously underating Larsson. Is he worth hall? No. Is he worth an injuury prone hall who has only played one full season?

 

[Mr Positive]

We could lose this trade and still come out ahead. We aren't going to get a fair deal for a defenseman

We just added Puljujarvi. If Larsson is the best we can do then that sucks but it means there wasnt anything out there

 

[Quares27]

I know they needed a d-man but surely if you're dangling an elite scoring winger you can get better than Larsson? I guess there could be more added

 

[JS19]

If it's 1 for 1: EDM got robbed big time.

If it's a centerpiece package, let's see what EDM gets (though it's worth mentioning that Bruins fans thought they were getting more when Chia was GM...).

 

[TruGr1t]

The market for defensemen is just insane. I feel better about drafting Juolevi.

 

[Ace]

The reaction is tremendous of analysts on Twitter. Maybe the worst trade of all time here.

People tried to tell you about Chia.

 

[SB84]

Terrible trade for EDM. Larsson is a good young player but Hall is a stud. Guess he learned nothing when trading away Seguin. EDM should have drafted Larsson instead of RNH.

 

[Mitts]

Chiarelli takes the heat off of Benning, that's not easy to do.

 

[stokes84]

Adam Larsson??? Good luck, Edmonton.

 

[Canucks LB]

Still don't want tanev edmonton?

Tanev is 10x the defender larsson is.

 

[MtlPenFan]

So, safe to say Pete's run in Boston was a total fluke? Good God man...

 

[That Habs Fan]

If Larsson returned Hall, Subban would have returned McDavid, Draisaitl, 4th OA and a time travelling Wayne Gretzky circa 1984

 

[Lecavaliers Stick]

I don't understand.

 

[AtlantaWhaler]

Whoa! This is one of those trades where 28 teams wonder where the hell their GM was to not beat an offer of Adam ****ing Larsson.

 

[OriginJM]

Larsson is so underrated in this thread

comparatively its not even close

halls value towers over larssons

this has to be a joke

 

[Sky04]

Edmonton does get better through this trade, but man do they overvalue their players.

 

[DriftEasy]

So.... guessing this would be a bad time to mention Hamonic?

 

[Paul4587]

Oilers lose the trade. That said it was something they needed to do. Wish Fowler was a RHS now, would have loved to have had him available to move in a Hall deal.

 

[Edmonton East]

See. Oilers' fans are rioting.

But guess what? Devils' fans aren't happy either.

So, it was probably a fair trade.

Oh, and one more thing. WE TOLD YOU WE DIDN'T NEED TO ADD TO LARSSON TO GET HALL.

Devils fanbase was right, Oil fans.

 

[XX]

Chiarelli taught Benning and Sweeney everything they know

Really funny when you think about it.

 

[Jozay]

WOW

this is a very good deal for both sides, IMO.

Larsson will be a nice, steady force on that Oilers blueline for years to come.

 

[BobDobolina]

Another Chiarelli gem

 

[JustAHabFan]

Very bad trade for the Oilers. I am not sure that Larsson will do well in the Western Conference.

 

[Jester9881]

Isles fans looking at Oilers fans like

Seriously.... where are all the ++++ going to Edmonton?

I'm just happy they can finally leave us alone about Hamonic.

 

[Chez Weber]

Huge fan of Larsson but this is an absolute steal for the Devils. What is Chiarelli doing, Sequin 2.0 all over again

Hall >>>>

Traded the #1 and #2 of the '10 draft
