Confirmed with Link: Taylor Hall Acquired for Adam Larsson

[Darkauron]

Rico for GM

Rico knew what Shero was planning all along.

Wow, Hall seems so personally offended by the trade I'm expecting huge things from him.

 

[OmNomNom]

Only thing that would make this trade better is if we had prior knowledge and drafted Chychrun or Bean. Happy as hell, and will miss Lars.

people would have been PISSED.

if serg had fallen though, this would've been amazing.

Know who else was offended when he was traded to NJ?

Scott Stevens.

Dynasty time. Give him the "C".

Seriously.

2016 is shaping up to be a great year. First Rich Chere retires and now this. Even This Is Outhouse couldn't ruin the fun.

Rich Chere retired? That IS great news!

What does NJ's lineup look like with Hall/ without Larsson?

I'd imagine you need some help on the back end?

Kind of depends on the plan. We still have some good young rhd prospects who are close/very close in Jacob's and Santini. And I for one don't want to just give up on Merrill who has disapointed the last couple years. So do we want to give Santini legit minutes this year? do we want to give Merrill another go?

Now if we think we are ready to make a legit run at it, and with Cory, Zajac, Greene, Cammy we do have guys who might make you say yeah, let's go for it, then yeah, we need need some D, I'd say a top pairing and mid pairing guy. A top 6 RW too.

A #3/4 RHD would be nice

Hall-Henrique-Palmieri
Cammalleri-Zajac-Bennet
Boucher-Zacha-Blandisi
Kalinin-Josefson-DSP

Greene-Severson
Schlemko-Santini
Merrill-Moore

Schneider-Kinkaid/Wedgewood

if serg had fallen though, this would've been amazing.

The Michael Corleone:Ray Shero memes would've been off the charts.

 

[OmNomNom]

ayyyyyyyy

though i shudder when i think of who wore 44 last...

[Saugus]

Already dreaming of the first time Hall makes Henry look stupid.

That will be a fun moment. It's nice to think we have a somewhat respectable offense again.

First question goes to Stan?

Yeah, feels like there's still some shopping to be done. Not exactly a ton of tantalizing options with free agent D, particularly RH.

My blind stab at the lineup right now:

Hall-Henrique-(Bennett?)
Cammalleri-Zajac-Palmieri
Boucher-Zacha-(DSP?)
Kalinin-Josefson-[free agent]

Greene-Severson
?-?
Moore-Santini
Merrill (?+injured)

I'm happy for the one Eric Gelinas fan in New Jersey that they can get their sweater fixed.

DEAR GOD. the incessant keyboard clacking

re: hall feeling slighted, it makes me wonder how larsson feels about the whole thing :\

 

[Brodeur]

But I have high hopes for Wood

--------

Probably was mentioned elsewhere, but I think it was mentioned that Shero was spotted talking to Brad Treliving a few times at the Draft. Maybe Dennis Wideman as a band aid RHD?

re: hall feeling slighted, it makes me wonder how larsson feels about the whole thing :\

Probably feels bad but isn't going to express it externally. You know, Swedes gon Swede.

 

[njdevils1982]

[devilsfan35]

Ray's next task is to acquire a young d man.
Fowler
Shattenkirk
Trouba (expensive)

re: hall feeling slighted, it makes me wonder how larsson feels about the whole thing :\

Larsson's pretty sensitive, he's gonna have to get thick skin to deal with the carvenorous Canadian media and Oiler fans annoyed they lost Hall. Hopefully for his sake there's a vet there by September he can lean on for support.

 

[Sheros expletives]

I'm still shocked at this, in a good way.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Hall does sound very shocked. Not surprised.
