[Warden of the North]

Offseason preview?

This is likely the big deal that was alluded to on the radio by Johnston

[Joey Hoser]

I'm sure many discussions were had.

 

[PromisedLand]

Hall for Larson
and then
Brown for Larson

wow Larson's value has increased

 

[Schenn]

Does this mean Brown = Hall?

 

[hamzarocks]

Dont believe it for a second. Brown for Larsson as a base just cant be true. The oilers can't be that dumb.

 

[SprDaVE]

Murphy is a terrible source/insider. He's eklund level.

With that said, the Oilers having interest in Brown shouldn't be a surprise. They desperately need wingers. He's capable of putting up better offensive numbers with more minutes as well. He would be a great "buy low" for a team like the Oilers.

 

[Duffman955]

Were Brown and Larsson the main peices?

What were the other multiple peices? Anyone have an idea or care to guess?

"Large deal with lots of moving parts"


But seriously, what has EDM done to get a benefit of the doubt?

 

[Mr Hockey]

would have cost ~ Brown +Liljegren + 2020 1st

Oilers probably wanted to recreate a debrincat-strome scenario with brown and mcdavid.

Brown + 2nd for Larsson.

Let's not all pretend Larsson is good just because he was traded for Hall. He is an okay top 4 dman.

Have you been paying attention to the Oilers for the past decade?

 

[Cor]

Brown + Zaitsev for Larsson + Puljujarvi


Seems fair to me

Well they didn't make the trade this time around. Interval improvement?

 

[Jozay]

Brown for Larsson as a base

Im not buying it.

Come on. That team didn't even trade Chiasson or any of their pending UFAs. Just look at the Strome for Spooner trade as well.

They are terrible at asset management and talent evaluation.

If the oilers seriously made a deal with Brown as the best nhl roster piece coming back for Larsson they should be relocated. They went from MVP hall to leafs scraps. The only deal for Larsson which makes sense from a Oilers POV would be starting with Kapanen but I wouldnt make that deal as a leaf fan.

Depends on the parts tbh but I would have thought a leaf deal for Larsson should be based around kapanen.

I say again, have you paid attention to their horrific trade record the past ten years?

 

[WilliamNylander]

Lol no chance.

 

[Cor]

I can't wait for June when Edmonton single handedly gives us a top 4 RHD, and takes Zaitsev and Brown off our hands.

 

[Trapper]

Brown for Larsson as a base

Im not buying it.

Me too.
Leafs said it wasn't enough which is why Brown is still a Leaf.
I miss Chia already.

 

[Mr Hockey]

Larsson is a top pairing d'man and much better than Muzzin

 

[VanW27]

Rishaug indicated Oilers wanted Benning for Brown.

Can't imagine any possibility they'd give up Larsson unless Brown was the add-in from the leafs side m

 

[hamzarocks]

Ya but you got to think they will change up on that right. No more Chia and this has to be the last chance Their Owner gives to the Old Boys Club. They cant f*** up this rebuild/retool. The Oilers need to be a cup contender by 2022 otherwise they could see Mcdavid run out of patience.

 

[hamzarocks]

He is not, not by most advance stats, not by production, not by his performance the past 2 seasons. He is a 3/4 defender. Better than Zaitsev and would be our best rhd but he would be our 3rd nest defender next year after rielly and Muzzin if we got him in a trade.
