Confirmed with Link: Taylor Hall Acquired for Adam Larsson

[BadFella]

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.

Especially since Alberta's economy collapsed and they really need hockey right now to distract them from their own misery. Can't imagine Edmonton being an easy place to play.

 

[DeVols]

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

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

At this point, we pretty much need a new second pairing.

Is the media call with Shero up?

 

[DevilsFanInFla]

Loved Lars but you tell me we get Hall for Lars straight up and I do that deal every single time. Can't believe we got Hall! Shero is doing work and doing damn fine work at that. I don't think he is done making a move or two but it won't(can't?) be as big as this. Free agency should be interesting as we are instantly much better than we were before, despite the loss of Lars. Buckle up as this is going to be fun

 

[BadFella]

There hasn't been a young left-winger in New Jersey with this much talent since Born to Run.

Hall has done what he has done on one of the worst 5 on 5 teams in the league.

It really is remarkable. We improve to being an average 5 on 5 team and who knows where that goes?

Isn't Fayne still there?

[Emperoreddy]

Shero said this is hard to trade Lars, but this is can't pass up deal as forwards as good as Hall don't come on the market everyday.

Edit: "Deal you can't pass up"

 

[MadDevil]

Isn't Fayne still there?

Yes. He can bond over being a former partner of Greene who ended up in hockey purgatory. Beware Severson!

Although I do think the Oilers might actually be on the right track for once.

 

[Emperoreddy]

Shero wasn't trading D at any cost for offense, only for the right player and Hall is the right player.

 

[Bcap88]

stoked for this trade

 

[Marv4Life]

Been calling for this trade for a couple of years now. Better late than never.

 

[D3vilsH0ck3y]

Still shaking and my mind is racing... but wanted to see my new pic action!

truthfully if Larsson didn't right the ship the last year or so this trade prob never happens

 

[RSeen]

Shero worked that magic again! We finally have that Parise/Kovalchuk level forward in our lineup again. We definitely need to add on D, but the way our team is developing, we should have lots of speed and skill.

Or we trade him for Yakupov instead <shudder>

Shero sounded pretty confident that they can fill that hole one way or another. Said it will be difficult, but seems to think it can be done.

If I'm reading between the lines I say we will be adding from outside for sure. Guessing a trade.

Let the memes begin!

 

[daveskirtun]

I hope this improves our shootout record.

 

[Bcap88]

Man shero has been on fire since coming here. have been happy with all his moves

Yeah I'm glad he acknowledged the hole on D and didn't automatically default to we'll replace them from within.
