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

[ManofSteel55]

We lose in value hard I think, but we will be a better team with Larsson and Lucic than only Hall.

Listening to the fans on the radio is kind of funny though. I would have preferred to keep Hall but some of these fans are ridiculous.

 

[Frenzy31]

This isn't a sexy trade for Edmonton. But it may make them a better overall team. It also frees up some money - with will be important for McDavid, LD.....

I don't know if Lucic signs, but maybe this will increase his interest.

Add Hall to the list of players that have been Chiarelli'd (A young superstar being traded for a crappy return)

 

[Wayward Son]

Elite LW's are one of the harder players to come around. And someone of Hall's calibre...

What the hell, Chia?

 

[Uncle Gary]

Wait thats it? So so bad for the Oilers. Chiarelli once again confirming that he is a terrible GM.

 

[BrodieOnTheCorner]

Wow.

 

[Canucks LB]

Easily the worst gm in the league, how did they get past ownership, holy hell

2010 NHL Draft Top 6:

1. Taylor Hall, EDM: Traded to NJ 6/29/16
2. Tyler Seguin, BOS: Traded to DAL 7/4/13
3. Erik Gudbranson, FLA: Traded to VAN 5/25/16
4. Ryan Johansen, CBJ: Traded to NSH 1/6/16
5. Nino Niederreiter, NYI: Traded to MIN 6/30/13
6. Brett Connolly, TB: Traded to BOS 3/2/15

Crazy.

 

[AshyHabs]

NJ, please explain you're negotiating process to the habs. What a deal. New Jersey...you win!

 

[SladeWilson23]

Uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh no. The cost for a 'decent middle pairing guy' with 'room to grow' is not a top-3 LW. Come on.

Did you just call Adam Larsson a decent middle pairing guy?

 

[Smartguy]

Larson is not even good, he never lived up to his draft hype. Hall is edmontons best player right now until Mcdavid would take over this year. Hall drives the play and is a top 5 lw in the league. Larson is a number 4 dman, this will go down as one of the worst trades ever

 

[uncleben]

PC has now traded BOTH Tyler Seguin and Taylor Hall.

 

[Duke749]

This was the response I expected to any legitimate hockey trade. Oilers still suck, what an overpay, Chiarelli is a loser.

The Oilers took one step closer to filling out their D with an excellent young player. That's a fact and I don't know how it can be ignored.

Hall is one of the best wingers in the game. Larsson is NOT one of the best defensemen in the game.

 

[Hurricane Hugo]

Um, Larsson and what?

 

[Kalv]

As a Ducks fan - great, bring the talent to East

I heard Ekman-Larsson on the phone

[Billdo]

He isn't that good. NJ fans have always vastly overrated him.

You're wrong. There's just no other way to say it. Flat out wrong.

 

[OilTastic]

the worst part for of this for Edmonton is Lucic will be replacing Hall.

strange trade but opens up and extra $3 mil or so to sign Lucic. if so then we traded more offense for some needed top RD and i don't believe we've seen the best from Larsson yet. so it could be Lucic + Larsson for Hall.

 

[McDavidCrushedLarkin]

I'm still laughing so hard.

Oilers fans considered Hall better than Kessel and a top 5 LW ever since he was drafted. How do you guys feel about this trade? LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

Well the fact that Chia got ripped off doesn't somehow make Kessel a better player. #leaflogic

Hall>Kessel

 

[sjsharks92]

Edmonton fans, you will be happy with this trade later. Hall is a bit of overpayment but Larsson has some attributes that youre backend really need and stabilize. You have to give to get, and NJ wouldnt never trade Larsson if you didnt overpay. You guys got Pulju coming, Lucic. Edmonton will do fine without Hall.

I like it, think both teams will be winners in this one.

Poor Edmonton fans. Wow, what a bad trade.

Congrats to Satan fans.

Lmao

 

[Pavels Dog]

Watch all the Edmonton fans cry now

Then be overjoyed when they see their team play competent defense

Yeah I definitely think this makes Edmonton better. They can afford to give up some good forwards to address their defense. This would be a good trade if NJ had added just a depth player or even a draft pick. 1 for 1 it's hard not to feel like Edmonton gave up a star player for a very good player. Larsson is and will probably always be a tier below the true #1 d-men.

 

[Brooklyndevil]

The oilers got themselves a heck of defensemen who is only 22, and will give them a minimum of 25 minutes a game. Good luck Adam.
