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

[First Blood]

This is amazing, all those proposals from EDM fans wanting NYI 1st, Hamonic, Dal Colle/ Barzal

or the one that had Pulock involved in it... haha this is gold my god Chiarelli... Got bent over for Seguin, and now got bent over even harder for Hall ahahahha!

 

[RustyCat]

Straight up hockey deal here. I like it for both clubs

 

[CerebralGenesis]

wow this is nutty

I'll miss Larsson

 

[Ace]

If it was Larsson and 2 firsts I might understand just because they need the shakeup.

This is an ALLTIMER.

 

[varsaku]

I have a feeling this was the best deal they had for Hall after looking around and went with it than staying put for another season.

 

[Double Dion]

Soooo Oiler fans. We sure like this trade.

Signed,

Flames fans

 

[CupInSIX]

massive! They finally did it...but, is Larsson the right guy to do it for?

 

[Rabid Ranger]

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.

Larsson is better than that and the type of player that the Oilers desperately needed but Hall is a clear over payment. He's one of the best wingers in the game-period.

 

[Brew]

Man, I thought Hall would get more than this in return.

 

[Jersey Fresh]

People are underrating the hell out of Adam Larsson, but he's not flashy and played for NJ, so I'm not surprised.

 

[Le Barron de HF]

Chiarelli has traded away two elite wingers under trade value now what a goof.

 

[Sniper99]

Chia is gutless, LOL this is pathetic, Larsson thats it? An 80+ point forward for a 20+ point dman. Oh **** but he shoots right handed. Glug Glug

 

[Jumptheshark]

we needed a RHD who can play 20+ minutes a game

 

[HowSweeeedeItIs]

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

Do you want him upgraded from the worst GM in the league to the second worst GM in the league?

 

[Hockeypete49]

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

Travis Sanheim will be better than Larsson book it. And he will be behind Ghost and Ivan.

The worst trade of the decade doesn't make a terrible trade better

 

[MakoSlade]

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

Relax with the waaaaaay overplayed commentary...20 posters for every thread involving a trade say the same thing about someone in the deal. You did forget to add "Never change, HF Boards."

As a Devils fan this deal hurts...Larrson was amazing and Edmonton without a doubt filled a huge hole in their lineup. They are a better team no matter what the +++ is on either end. Good luck, Edmonton!

And the flip side...the Devils got an amazing player! They pumped up the offense big time, and hopefully can offset the loss of Adam Larsson somehow. I bet this will be a great trade for both teams...once Devils fans get over the loss of Larrson!

 

[Satan]

Incredible.

 

[RomanEmpire]

Lolol oh my God what a brutal trade for Edmonton

 

[RangerGuru]

Wow reading this thread I was ALMOST tempted to defend a Devil imagine that

Lots of Larsson hate here, a good hockey trade though

 

[Look Up]

Wow, just wow.

Chia traded for the wrong Larsson.

 

[MoonDragn]

#1 D for a #1 winger and you guys are complaining? Larsson is a lot better than you guys give him credit for. He's been mainly used as a shutdown d-man and still managed to score pts. He was better than Greene this past season and looked very impressive. He has not even reached his potential yet as he could also be a dynamic offensive player.

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

LOL this is such a great day!

I agree- the Oilers improved.

Everyone knew this would happen, but the backpedaling is hilarious:

"OIlers r dumb! Horde all their wingers!!!!11!"

"LOL they traded a winger for a D! Idiots!"

 

[Jets012]

lololololololololololol

I guess Oilers fans all those months (and most of HF in general) making fun of Devils fans for how much they valued Larsson.

I don't think this is as bad as people are saying. Larsson will do real well on a good offensive team. He's a great player.

 

[GordieHoweHatTrick]

Just have to move Eberle and they're well on their way.
