[illpucks]

You can't trade now but if Hall is traded July 1st by NJ does he return more than Larsson?

do you really need to poll this

anyways, answer is no because Hall is about to miss the playoffs again. This is 8 seasons now, he's arguably worse than Jay Bouwmeester and Olli Jokinen

 

[Tralfamadore]

No because he's still injury prone and a locker room cancer.

 

[Leonhard Euler]

Competent GM would always (at any time future or past) get A LOT more for Hall than just Larsson.
Why is this a poll?

 

[Machinehead]

He should have returned more than Larsson the first time

 

[PinkFly]

He would return 3+ Larssons

 

[hotcabbagesoup]

I raise you 4 Adam Larssons!

 

[CantLoseWithMatthews]

Yes a hart trophy candidate who's tearing up the league has more value than a second pairing defensive defenseman

 

[SHANNYPLAN]

Hall for Larsson, Puljuarvi, 2nd

 

[eviohh26]

Larsson and a 1st to start.

 

[bobholly39]

Option 2

People can bash the oilers as much as they like

bottom line is Larsson is a good D-man--he can haul 20 to 25 minutes a night in any situation

Oilers D was worse before he arrived

EVERYONE IN THE NHL
EVERYONE ON THIS SITE

knew the oilers needed to make a move for a guy like Larsson

Oilers were behind the 8 ball

Oilers needed to make a move for a guy like Larsson but not at the expense of Hall. If Shero doesn't budge, you simply move on. Chia absolutely got fleeced and the Oilers are better with Hall then with Larsson.

 

[winnipegger]

Chia will probably offer McDavid for Hall because the Oilers need wingers and everyone knows you have to over pay to get a position of need.

He's had 2 PPG+ seasons before it's not like he dramatically increased his trade value

about a month before the Hall trade

I posted on the trade board Hall to the NYI for Hamonic, Strome and a 1st--I believe at some point in time we will hear that the NYI came back and asked for Klefbom or Nurse to be added to that trade

When I was at the world championships in St Petersburgh I had a few people I know associated with different teams tell me Hall was in play. The league collectively decided not to budge of any trades demands that came from the oilers.

People can speculate about the lead up to that trade

but I am 99% sure I am correct that every team the oilers talk about ANY d man--the ask was Hall

 

[Jumptheshark]

He's had 2 PPG+ seasons before it's not like he dramatically increased his trade value

how many times did he score 82pts in a season with the oilers

 

[CupofOil]

He's had 2 PPG+ seasons before it's not like he dramatically increased his trade value

38 points in 53 then 65 in 82 the 2 seasons prior to the trade so no and yes, he would return a lot more than Larsson today if he was traded. Silly poll

 

[Trafalgar Sadge Law]

He should've never been traded for Larsson to begin with. Chiarelli is dumber than a Spongebob character.

 

[McAsuno]

Should've gotten way more for Hall in the first place. No GM in the league aside from Chiarelli would consider trading Hall for Larsson. Chiarelli's a moron.

 

[Ctrain2k]

how many times did he score 82pts in a season with the oilers

He would've if he played full seasons 80 in 75 and 50 in 45 during the lockout season

 

[Icebreakers]

I raise you 4 Adam Larssons!

Can I summon exodia with this?

 

[goonybird]

he'd always get more, but it's pretty tiring hearing about it in the context of Larsson being trash

the only people dumber than the ones that point out how terrible the return was are those who ignore how good Larsson is

 

[XXIV97]

He would always get a better return in terms of futures, but will get bigger a better player back than a #2D?

 

[Cleatus]

I’ll admit that I thought it was a good trade for both teams at the time, but mostly because I thought Larsson had untapped offensive potential that’d break through on the Oilers.

Now that we’ve seen that he’s basically a pure defensive guy... Yeah, very bad trade, but it had potential to work out pretty well for the Oilers when it happened.

And in the end, this is far from the only thing that’s screwed the Oilers this season. If Chia didn’t make so many other terrible moves in addition to this trade, the Oilers would probably be pretty decent right now (like they were last season, without Hall).

To answer the poll question, yes, Hall would return a boatload in a trade now. If I were Jersey, the only kind of d-men I’d trade him for are the Subbans and Doughtys of the league.
