For everybody whining about this, can you please tell us how many FULL NJ Devils games that you have watched in the past year or two?
Well. Now Taylor and Tyler havw more in common, they were both traded by a meat head gm with no real knowledge of value
If they made this trade without having Lucic locked up I might just get on the "fire Chia" bandwagon.
Because the team just pretty much guaranteed him a spot next to McDavid for the next x-number of years? Oh yeah, I'm sure he's pissed.That's the thing, they did.
Lucic cannot agree to anything until July 1st.
This teams deserves a "yeah, I'm going elsewhere" from him.
While Larsson is an improvement on defense and I can get behind this trade with time, this sets a tone around the league and how they view Chia. It makes him look desperate and willing to trade anything. Teams are now aware and will play hard ball when Chia comes asking for their players.
So much wrong with this post.
1. He plays top pairing minutes right now. He IS a #2D right NOW.
2. He had 18 points playing with the WORST offense in the league and getting 0 PP minutes.
3. He has an elite first pass - points will come if the forwards can make something happen with his good pass.
4. His draft pedigree suggested a player that was better than Hedman - especially offensively.
Oilers fans have to stop crying about Hall and give this player a chance. We got a good one in Larsson, let him prove it to us like he proved to the NJ Devils fans last year.

An underrated horrible part of this trade is what we've just done to Draisaitl.
He goes from having support of one of the best wingers in the NHL to having one of Maroon or Pouliot? Good luck with that

And now Devils fans are showing up to try and shine up this turd.
Gross.
I dunno. We just got a very solid RHD that can play tough minutes for us. We're not the same team anymore with a black hole on the right side. We have something decent in every area of our team now. There is very little reason for Chia to be desperate anymore.
So people want to quit on the Oilers now when they finally adressed the biggest need on the team since...well...forever? The thing everyone been screaming about wanting to get? The hypocrisy is too funny.
People need to stop penciling Lucic into the lineup. The man hasn't agreed to anything yet.
Do you honestly need to watch any NJ games to understand that Chia doesn't understand player value?
I can confidently say that Taylor Hall should have fetched a much better defenseman coming back. This trade is utterly ridiculous.
i don't even see how we fit him under the cap... nhlnumbers.com shows us at 68 million after the trade
WOW! I must say that I haven't watched enough of Larsson to say one way or another but my initial reaction is that NJ got the better of this deal. I sure hope that Larsson is as solid defensively as he's been advertised as being.
That's way off. Use CapFriendly instead.i don't even see how we fit him under the cap... nhlnumbers.com shows us at 68 million after the trade
Nothing has been addressed. We got a #3-#4 D, and gifted away one of the best LW's in the game.

122 NHL defensemen have played at least 4000 minutes since 2012-13. Larsson has outscored: Scuderi, N. Schultz, Orpik, Gorges, M. Stuart.
Tell me which team would move this "much better defenseman" for Taylor Hall.
