Confirmed Trade: [NJD/EDM] Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson ‎- Part 2

[Warriorpride1]

HA! Edmonton fans finally realize 1) your slew of 1st OA's are vastly overrated, and 2) Defencemen hold more values than wingers/ forwards.

That said, Chia couldn't have gotten better than Larsson for Hall??????????????

Thank you.

Man Larsson sounded so sad in that Radio Interview..

Im gonna miss him man

The feels!

while im sure that Larsson could do well for the Edmonton Oilers, he's solid steady defenceman already, but Hall does seem to be an overpayment. Eberle or maybe Nugent Hopkins, but Hall?

Oils D, got up a notch and the Oil O got down two notches...

Guess it have something to do with cap hit as well then?

Good hockey trade. Larsson is already pretty fantastic and he's only getting better. He's also on a great contract. Edmonton did great and they will probably sign Lucic now.

NJ probably got the better piece right now but they also got the bigger risk. Simply put their team got pretty badly shaken up while the Oilers just got more solid.

I do like this trade for both.

 

[SaintMorose]

I think this is a trade Edmonton had to make, being the GM of that team has been a bit of a trap where the core that you can't win with is too valuable to your fans; so they hadn't been able to pull the trigger and get core players in other roles.

This was absolutely the right move and although NJD get a more valuable player Edmonton makes their team better.

Taylor Hall is a beast. Larsson is a beast. We need a beast D more
Oilers got better.

 

[Deutschland Dangler]

It can't be one for one, right? Right?

 

[bov]

This looks like a great hockey trade to me.

I love how people underestimate Larsson, he is a stud, next Vlasic. No player in NHL plays more dzone starts then him. But I guess Points is everything..

 

[These Are The Days]

It was a hard but necessary trade. I can't believe one of the golden childs finally got traded. We've been saying it for a long time Oiler fans. They weren't as valuable as you thought. But on the flip side Larsson is gonna be so damn good. Just wait about another 2 years and you'll be saying, "Taylor who?"

Short term Devils win
Long term Oilers win

 

[Goose]

I like Larsson but...

uggggggggghhhhhh no Oilers.

Hall is the guy you keep, the rest of them are the ones you trade.

Now don't trade McDavid.

 

[authentic]

Interesting to say the least. Edmonton got screwed a bit, but it's not all bad. Larsson could still end up a really good defenseman, and as he is now he's better than anyone they've got.

 

[canucks10]

Young right handed d-men are one of the most sought after players in the league, teams looking to acquire them via trade almost always have to pay a premium.

Yes Edmonton gave up the better player but it's not as one sided as people are making it out to be

 

[Oak]

I can't wait to see Taylor Hall in my local NJ pub!!

Im gonna miss him man

You'll live. You just got a 1st line winger.

 

[viper0220]

I wonder what the Islanders offered? It would have included Hamonic and while Larrson is better, I would have taken the Hamonic+++

 

[BK201]

Lol tsn is ******** on this trade as It write this on Ottawa radio xD

Saying terrible value for Edmonton.

Like surprisingly bad.

 

[Ducks in a row]

Everyone who knew anything knew Oilers needed to improve their blueline and would have to overpay to do so and they did. Oilers fans not happy to see Hall traded like this.

 

[scott99]

I guess Taylor Hall's value wasn't as high as some were speculating. Larsson is a good young d-man, but straight up for Taylor Hall? Ouch.

I'm sorry PW, I love ya pal, but Larsson and the words "good" do not belong in the same sentence. This was a TERRIBLE trade for Edmonton, no matter how anyone spins it.

 

[Tedenboozled]

I know we're probably winning this trade but god damn am I gonna miss big daddy Lars

 

[IslandersFan17]

What happened to all the Hall will fetch so much more???

 

[Gunnar Staal]

This might be the worst straight up deal in NHL history. Anyone got a worse one?

Naslund for Stojanov says hi.

I think people are underrating Larsson's upside here, but Hall is a nice get for NJ. Depends if he gets some chemistry for Henrique if this works out for them.

No no way that they needed to do this.

 

[McDonald19]

Taylor Hall is a beast. Larsson is a beast. We need a beast D more
Oilers got better.

Larsson isn't a beast. Solid, nothing special.
