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

[InfinityIggy]

Edmonton's sum of the parts with Larsson > sum of the parts with Hall

This is what it boils down to IMO. If Larsson reaches his potential, the Oilers are laughing.

 

[golffuul]

Both sides think there should be a plus...means it was the right trade.

 

[Curufinwe]

comparatively its not even close

halls value towers over larssons

this has to be a joke

Not to NHL GMs. Top pairing RHD are as valuable as 1Cs.

See the Jones-Johansen trade.

 

[BruinDust]

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

Jamie Benn says hello.

 

[TheOllieC]

Devils.
Sign.
Stamkos.

Rebuild complete.

Not with that defense

 

[Canucks LB]

How did this get approved past managment, this is hilarious.

it's like trading Horvat + 2017 1st + demko in value for a #2 d-man, crazy

 

[BlueDream]

Terrible for Edmonton. Really terrible.

Their defense will be a joke to watch.

 

[Goose of Reason]

Devils fans: crap, we lost our best defenseman and now our defense sucks

Everyone else: LOL OILERS LARSSON SUX

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Trading Hall to sign Lucic. SMH.

Taylor Hall for Larsson and Lucic isn't that bad a trade off.

 

[jwrocks1]

I remember all those threads between Oiler fans and Habs fans.....Oiler fans saying PK isn't worth Hall. I see that was wrong.

 

[Gene Parmesan]

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.

Because fans have absolutely zero clue about "value".

 

[CatsforReinhart]

It's hard to believe this is the best NJ could do value-wise for a forward-defense trade.

you are in fantasy land this is a terrible trade for Edmonton

 

[HowSweeeedeItIs]

So a top-5 winger just got traded for a 3/4 defenseman?

 

[rhinoshawarma]

Chiarelli traded Seguin and Hall for pennies on the dollar. Oilers getting fleeced is just the beginning. If you trade Hall for Larrson what is RNH or Eberle worth?

I will give you Lars El... shoot

Alexei Emelin!

 

[BomaLightDevils]

People are really undervalued larsson..

 

[12ozPapa]

What does the Devils d look like now?

 

[Muston Atthews]

That's a horrible trade if it's 1-1 swap. I wonder if we get to see a behind the scenes video of this trade like the Seguin one

 

[bloudy]

Hope this is a reality check for future trade proposals from Oilers fans.

 

[BertCorbeau]

you could call this a grand larssony.

You win the internet for the day

 

[Patrice Krejci*]

Bruins fans warned you, you laughed, you got fleeced. Hope Larsson turns out to be a damn good dman. Meanwhile, you have Benning (no explanation needed) and Sweeney doing his dumb draft thing. What is up with the recent bruins management execs?

 

[Mike Martin]

Larsson was a +15 last season on a team that didn't make the playoffs. He is only 23 years old. People need to look beyond Hall's point totals, this is not a terrible deal.

 

[Kranix]

I really hope we get to see the trade call footage in an Oil change episode, where Chiarelli pathetically grovels to another GM while negotiating the trade of his star player, like we did with the Seguin deal.

 

[Just Win]

While i am happy about the trade, Oilers fans have no ****ing clue how good Larsson is. He is exactly what they need to finally solidify their defense.

 

[Breakers]

I am still waiting for them announce that NJ's 2017 1st is attached with Larsson



Without something else this seems incredibly one sided.

 

[High five Tom]

WOW what a steal for NJ. Chia with another brutal trade. He can now say he traded the first two picks of the 2010 nhl draft. You're welcome from the Bruins
