well its quite obvious teams knew how bad Oilers need dmen and made them pay HUGE... so I guess Chia still needs to acquire a puck moving PP type dman... I wonder what that is gonna cost him now geeze

Did you just call Adam Larsson a decent middle pairing guy?
The poster clearly havent seen Larsson that much, great defensive dman with still more offensive game to get from him.

Terrible move, the Oilers traded one of the best wingers in the league for potential. Looks bad now and will look even worse in the future.

Larsson went from an abysmal offense with no high end talent to a team loaded with it. I suspect he 'breaks out' aka hits 40 points and keeps playing how he played last year. Def a ballsy move by chia though, hows he ever work again if this fails.

Are you kidding me? Lucic is as dumb as a doorknob. Enjoy bad penalties and no offense

At least we can put an end to all the crap about Eberle having value. This trade show he has none...

Man, that was Grand Larssony by the Devils. Sorry couldn't help myself. Chia definitely studying the art of the deal at the Mike Milbury GM school. Wow, filthy steal by the Devils. And Oiler fans were expecting Hamonic + from the Islanders. Instead they got less than Hamonic straight up. Oy vey. One of the worst trades I've ever seen.

NJD got a steal. Hall - Henrique will be a sexy first line. Hopefully it'll be like the Windsor Spitfires time.

Honestly I get the reasoning for the Oilers. They had to break up that core. But teams weren't going to just let them out of the mess they were in. They'd have to overpay or lose a trade to get those guys out and still get solid players back.
That's what happened. Hall is an extremely skill forward, but he was an Edmonton Oiler for years and that sucked up value. Plus everyone knew the Oilers had to make a trade and wanted to bust up that core for defense. So....not a great position to make a trade.
But for too many years the thing has been "well let's just hold onto our skilled forwards then" and it hasn't worked. Sometimes you have to lose a trade to win.

Lmao at everyone overrating Hall.
Larsson is a top pairing d man about to enter his prime. Hall is a 1 dimensional winger big whoop he is a dime a dozen especially on Edmontons roster.
What does Hall do that mcdavid, draistl, RNH, eberle or even yakupov can't?
Kessel is better and if TO got Larsson for him nobody would say a single negative thig

He played top pairing for NJ last year and will play top pairing for Edmonton this year.
