Real good stick, good positioning and doesn't get rattled under pressure. Makes an excellent first pass.

I feel like Edmonton is pretty confident in Lucic signing with them in order to justify this.
Not that I think there is a terribly uneven deal, but I think there is a clear winner, even if Edmonton is addressing an area of need.

I'm not sure how Larsson has improved but the first year he's played, NJD tried him on the PP and he was like a pylon, no movement at all. Maybe he got better but no way worth Hall straight up!. No he's not a #1, far from it.
Oilers overpaid no doubt, but they have a potential franchise minute-crunching Dman in Larsson. It's not the worst trade I've ever seen.

I solemnly swear I'm up to no good
This is obviously a loss in regards to value for the oilers, but with that being said Larsson is an excellent number 2 RHD who is very good defensively. Larssons first pass has always been very good and I am sure he will get some good pp time in edmonton with those high end forwards. So the question is can larsson put up 5 goals and 35 assists playing with edmonton I believe the answer is yes while playing excellent defensively. Its a loss in value but a big gain in regards to building a cup contender sooner rather then later.

Lucic can't replace halls production. That's what of us outsiders are thinking.

The price on d is through the roof. Y'all needed it you got it. Should improve your squad at the end of the day
EDM gets fleeced so bad not even a second added
If this is the best he could get I would of walked away

wow. all i heard in the STL - EDM threads is that Hall returns Pietrangelo. That's obviously not true.
Huge payment for a decent, potential #1D...but Larsson isn't exactly a star. He's good...but not yet great. Hope he steps up, because he's going to be needed quickly.

I am fine with the trade . Another poster on the Oilers boards posted some of Larsson numbers and he is a stud . Even before I read that I have wanted Hall traded for a few years . He the reason Yak is isolated . Hall is a party and Yak is not so he never was accepted . Not that Hall a problem like Kane because he is not . Glad we got a top pairing RHD with Klefbom that is a NHL top pairing . Look back on my postings as well I been want to trade Hall for 2 + years . I would have liked to get a little more but winger vs RHD . Teams trading the RHD can basically name their price . Next year
Klefbom Larsson
Sekera Demers
Davidson Fayne
Oesterle
That is an NHL caliber D and Balanced
Lucic McD Eberle
Pouliot Draisaitl Pulju
Maroon RNH Yakupov or an upgrade
Have you watched any nhl last few years??
All those players do the same thing as Hall which is create offence literally that's all Hall does anything else he's useless.
Do you understand how championship teams are formed not with 6 skill forwards and no defense.

I honestly have started to believe that Lowe and MacT put some blame on Hall for their brilliant rebuild not panning out. Like Hall didn't turn into Messier 2.0 like they wanted. There have been hints dropped to the media that our management didn't think Hall was "what they thought he would be". It's disappointing.

Stop living in the past and be logical. See you in the playoffs. We will be there but will you? Logic says no. Not with your defense. Maybe you can get Stevens to come back. Maybe Santini becomes the next Orr. Logic says no. Then slowly reality sets in

This thread is proof that most people here don't know what they're talking about when they talk about NJ.
The value is off, but this is a far more sensible hockey trade than people, especially EDM fans, want to acknowledge. Both teams got better.

You gotta give to get sometimes and this was probably the best dman the Oilers could get and they decided to go for it. They had to fix their defence and Larsson does that to a certain degree. There's still enough firepower up front for the Oilers to make an impact next season
