Legit I wouldn't even care if I were Edmonton, because McDavid.

Hall is the one guy that wasn't overrated. Devils got a beauty.

Hall and Mcdavid were the only players on the Oilers anyone wanted. You must assume they couldnt get ANYTHING for the other four! lol

#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.

A number 1 on your team does relate to a true number one in the NHL. While Hall is a true number 1 winger league wide.

 

[aufheben]

you could call this a grand larssony.

Devils added an elite winger but their defense is atrocious.

They'll still be a good defensive team. Great trade for them.

Edmonton's gonna run Larsson out of town by Christmas.

 

[RoyalDuder]

Oilers just got robbed! Larsson is a good player, but it's still highway robbery. Hilarious to see all the past proposals Oilers fans turned down for Hall that were 3x the return.

 

[AvalancheFan19]

serious question, how many of you actually even watched Larsson play or caught a NJ game last season? Like zero?

lol this. All joking aside though, Hall just has more effect on a hockey game than Larsson currently does. Potential is there. We'll revisit this in two years.

 

[CherryToke]

hockeydb has crashed from everyone looking up stats.

 

[TheLeastOfTheBunch]

Wow, only Larsson? I like Larsson but that's a brutal deal for the Oilers. He's more of a #3D..

 

[iBELEAF]

My god

 

[Sniper99]

How big was gun against Chia's head to make this deal. Did a little sheet of paper slip out that said "BANG" Pathetic Chiarelli

 

[Ainec]

Hall is the 2nd best LW in the game outside of Ovechkin. Can't believe this is his value

yeah he never was so this trade much be a shock to all the people that thought he was even in the same sphere as Jamie Benn

 

[Look Up]

Edmonton oilers fans are going nuts on the radio.

"It's Taylor Freakin' Hall for a number 2 d!"

 

[uncleben]

WOW.

I'm a big Larsson fan, but I'm sure hoping Edmonton got more than just Larsson...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again. Hall is a top LW in the League.
If NJD still somehow comes in as underdog on Stamkos (one of my personal top choices)... hohohohoho
(though Idk if this takes them out of the running now.)

 

[The Beyonder]

What's Chia's hurry? Be patient and wait for a better deal to come through. Hall is worth more than Larrson. You just gave up a player who's a career .80 player who'll score for a good but overrated defencemen. The core is still young. Why ship Hall, a 1st line winger, off for a d-man only 1 year younger and not at the same value.

I don't get it.

 

[HanSolo]

Holy ****

Eating crow soup I bet.

 

[Morry83]

Woah...

 

[Mitchy]

Don't like this at all for Edmonton. Larsson will be a useful player for them and help them out at the backend, but you just gave up Taylor Hall for him...

 

[Mr Serious]

Ouch, this is terrible of Edmonton...

 

[Aladyyn]

I wonder how Larsson is going to handle going from NJ's defensive system to whatever the hell Oilers seem to do on the ice. This has so much flop potential, I love it.

 

[CCF]

Benning must have been taking the calls for Edmonton.
