Oilers lose any trade involving Hall to the Devils. Larsson and Severson have NO WHERE near the value of Hall.

If they're getting a piece that makes them a better team overall now and going forward (a young, all situations RHD) they don't "lose".

What does this do to NJ's defense?

Adam Larsson is gone.

I don't know much about NJD's D but would guess Severson takes his spot up top.

 

[Bizz]

welp, see you guys after HF rises from the ashes.

 

[Raccoon Jesus]

That's a blockbuster imo. BIG piece for Edmonton.

Must feel locked in with Lucic, too.

 

[Cor]

Adam Larsson carries a CF% of 44.

He has horrible shot generation and low productive possession. The main positive about Adam Larsson is that he high-end-2nd-pairing shot suppression.

So he's atrocious offensively, and solid, but not great defensively.

 

[seafoam]

Done deal. Larsson to EDM

 

[NoQuitInNewMexico]

I'm sure they're gonna be one of the big teams in for Lucic, and Larsson has improved over the years, but I still don't get it. Has to be Zacha or a first or something too, right?

Why didn't you do this at the draft!!!

[BoldNewLettuce]

straight up?

 

[Kurisu]

Chia must hate the 2010 draft. Trading both hall and seguin now. lol

 

[goonybird]

if Larsson goes the Devils just ****ed up their defensive depth for offensive depth, and the Oilers become an actual contender by shoring up one of their last holes

 

[HatTrick Swayze]

Brutal for Edmonton.

 

[Territory]

Chiarelli is a bad GM.

 

[Jumptheshark]

one for one????

**** me

 

[Sokil]

can someone explain to me why Larsson is good?

 

[JVR21]

Larsson? Come on, Edmonton. There better be a hefty + on top of that.

 

[Warden of the North]

Woooooow

 

[SensBrawler]

That means all of the top six from the 2010 draft have now been traded.

 

[EichHart]

Oilers are making the playoffs this year. Congrats!
