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

[Squeeven]

Okay, like most people here I don't understand this. What is it we don't know about Larsson that could have possibly possessed Chiarelli to make this deal one for one? I think any time a top 6 forward of Hall's caliber gets traded for a defenseman like Larsson who is supposedly more defensively solid than he is offensively so it immediately looks bad if its one for one. But how good is Larsson really? I feel like the Oilers could have gotten a lot more but there's gotta be a reason they did this one for one.

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

Keep making fun of it, folks. You all wanted the Oilers to do it.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

Lmfao I have never been this embarrassed as an Oil fan. What a ****ing Joke. Chia trades the two best players from 2010 draft and gets fleeced in both. **** off

 

[Willy Stylez]

no it's not. middle pairing D don't land you one of the top 5 best LW in the game. if that were true then the Flyers should be able to get McDavid for Provorov. cause he's gonna be lightyears better than Larsson.

You clearly not know much about Larsson as many poster around here, never watch NJ.

 

[GWNR]

Ottawa offers Borocop for Eberle.

Dorion to Charelli: Trust me he's really good
Charelli to Dorion: Oh okay, deal.

Hahaha sucks to suck Edmonton. Wasting assets

 

[BrindamoursNose]

Wait Oilers mismanaged a situation with their young talent?

NOooooOoOoOoooo wayyyyyyyyy

 

[WesMcCauley]

Jake Mccabe was a +7 on an even worse Buffalo team. Should probably be trading him for Jamie Benn...

Dan Girardi was +18 haha. Using +- to hype Larsson says everything

 

[Quares27]

Wait it's straight up? oh god Edmonton

 

[Burke the Legend]

Every team in the league gotta be wondering why EDM did not contact them since they coulda beat that trade. Absolute steal. Taylor is a stud, all-star. Larsson is good but nowhere near this level.

 

[Brewsky]

Complimenting Hall with two-way Cs in Zacha and McLeod. Like what the Devils are doing

**** McLeod and Zacha, we just going to forget that Hall is reunited with his OP centre from junior Windsor Spitfire beauty Adam Henrique?

 

[caniac247]

WTF are the Oilers doing.

WOW.

 

[Battle Lin]

thats a lot to give up for edmonton...they are only team in nhl that can afford a trade like this because dam they still got a ton of talented forwards...and have money to spend on forwards...and their are no Dmen available this summer, their are never dmen available

u need a great defensive core to win, and giving up hall is a lot, but starting your D with a guy like larsson is a great start

 

[oilersfan87]

I don't give a **** how good Larsson is defensively. The guy had 18 points last season, he isn't worth Taylor Hall.

 

[hockey17jp]

Everything is happening!!!!!

 

[RobertR]

People are freaking clueless.

Its a great deal for EDM, great deal for both teams.

 

[Zaddy91]

Genuinely feel for Oilers fans big time

 

[Ogelthorpe]

I remember when Oilers fans said Hall would cost Letang ++. He didn't even retrieve a player as good as Letang alone!

 

[nbducksfan19]

I am in shock. Is it 100% a 1 for 1? If so, I do not believe I have ever been more surprised by a trade.

 

[CapSpace]

And Chia offered only what for Subban ? Draisaitl+4th ? Lmao, **** outtahere.

 

[Johnny McBravo]

And SUBBAN GETS traded. ARE YOU ****ING KIDDING ME

 

[Seatoo]

Oh my god

This makes McCann + 33rd for Gud look AMAZING.

 

[WayneSid9987]

Only thing that REALLY bothers me about this is Shero getting ALL DEEZ WINGERZ while he let Sid and Geno rot for yrs in Pitt playing with garbage.

 

[billybudd]

im assuming Chiarelli has a verbal agreement wth Lucic to sign? that's the only reason what so ever that I can make sense of this...

maybe Lucic sees this and sees that Chia is still making terrible trades and decides to go in another direction now

Lucic is older, not as good of a scorer and there are some signs the wheels are on their way to coming off.

If a culture change is what they're looking for, I can understand moving Hall, but not for Larsson and not to sign Lucic, who's something of a big baby.

 

[Eric Sachs]

The Devils fans that are mad are just the ones hanging onto the hope that their #4 ovr pick from years ago would live up to that draft position.

Once Hall gets on the ice for them they'll soon forget. This is a coup for NJ.

I think the Devils fans that are upset are more upset because we love Larsson. Guy was a warrior for us for the last few years even when things weren't going well for him.. and then when we got rid of Deboer, he ****ing exploded.

Gonna miss him and that's why I feel conflicted here. We win this trade on the ice for sure but Adam was a treat to follow the past few years. Hope he does real damn well and continues growing.

 

[The Red Line]

Id be worried if I was an Edmonton fan, I thought the new group was supposed to have some smarts. This is laughably bad for the oilers, well done NJ.
