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

[mc3488]

LOL haha.

 

[SouthWest]

I actually like the trade.

But then again, I am not a hall fan at all and have been vocal about it on here for years.

 

[The Feckless Puck]

Did the Oilers see "Larsson" and not bother to check whether "Ekman-" was prepended to it?

Some of the older trade threads are REALLY hilarious now in hindsight.

 

[Dr Pepper]

Larsson is so underrated in this thread

He really is.

From an overall team competency standpoint, this is a great deal for Edmonton. They traded from a position of strength to address a glaring (read: BLINDING) weakness.

 

[YourAverageFan*]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Chiarelli should be fired on the spot

 

[struckmatch]

Is he now the second worst GM in the league? Please? Maybe?

 

[seafoam]

What does Edmonton's D look like now?

Sekera-Larsson
Klefbom-Davidson
Reinhart-Fayne

 

[PuckG]

We have the GM that no traded away Taylor Hall and Tyler Sequin....I hope to god this doesn't get any worse.

 

[Frogger009]

As a Canucks fan I feel for you. Watching trades and simply asking.. WTF.

Maybe the Bruins sent there agents to destroy both our teams.

 

[nzoilerfan]

DAMNIT PC!!!!!! WHY?!?!?! 1f1 is RIDICULOUS!!!!

 

[BigDaddyLurch]

...this can't be just 1-for-1...if it is, Jesus Chiarelli...

 

[GrandmaSlices51631]

Hamonic > Larsson. I bet oil fans wish they could make that deal nowl

He was worth 2 Hamonics , Barzal/Strome and a 1st, get your facts straight!

 

[Kranix]

That's all he was ever going to get for Hall. Not a bad deal. Not the best.

 

[Benedict Kovalchuk]

lmao, Hall for peanuts. I wish we offered Bailey + 3rd for him, might have had a chance.

Is Chiarelli now Benning-tier?

 

[Nocashstyle]

Larsson is getting criminally underrated here. EDM fans will see what Devils fans have been saying for a while

 

[VanFan101]

Gudbranson trade looks a lot better after this, doesn't it Benning haters?

 

[OmNomNom]

oiler fans,

you guys have a ton of offense. losing hall is big, but you guys will recover.

granted, as a devil fan, i'm ecstatic that we get hall, but losing larsson isn't some whatever piece. you now have larsson and nurse, and that's not anything to laugh at. don't go yelling for chia's head just yet, bc i guarantee you you will love what you see in adam larsson

 

[HowSweeeedeItIs]

Oilers will tank again next year in order to replace Hall, don't worry

 

[McFlyingV]

Edmonton just traded a legitimate first-line, star level forward for a number three or four defenceman (albeit with some promise, but still). Absolutely horrific trade for the Oilers.

Ok I hate the trade, but Larsson is not a #3/4.

 

[Asher]

Can't wait to see the Oilers fans justify this one.

They're too busy lighting torches and getting pitchforks at the moment.

 

[SeenSchenn2]

Chia has traded Kessel, Seguin, and Hall now.

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

Chia'd

 

[Plub]

RHD and he is young fits in with their age group and he can move the puck, has size, I mean what more can you ask for Edmonton?

Well head not that impressive. Certainly not a bona-fide number 1.

 

[MC Ride]

Larsson is not scraps, he is a legit top pairing Dman.

He's a very good top 4 defenseman that has the potential to become a top pairing guy. But the clock is ticking. Better hope he reaches that potential soon.

 

[SpezDispenser]

What a mistake for Edmonton IMO.
