Devils acquire Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson

[CarltonTheBear]

Imagine being the GM of both Tyler Seguin and Taylor Hall and trading both before either one turns 25.

In "4 quarters for a dollar" type deals.

I mean, at least Edmonton is trying to address the holes in the defence, but . . .

Yeah, like I get it. Maybe RNH and Eberle weren't getting the defenceman that they wanted. But trading a top-5 left winger in hockey for a #3, maaayyybbbeee #2 guy is just nutso. I don't think I'd trade Gardiner for Adam Larsson.

18 points in 82 games last year...am I missing something here?

 

[Deebo]

Oilers board on HF have people saying it's for Larsson straight up.

No way..

From what I understand this is a one for one deal @hallsy04 for Adam Larsson..

This would have to be one of the worst trades ever made.

I'd sure have traded Gardiner for Hall.

He was a +15?

I'm at a loss if there isn't more in this trade. Heck, even if there is.

Friedman confirms: Hall for Larsson. That's it.

Both astute and astounding.

This is fireable.

 

[Omallley]

Kudos to Jersey on that trade. That's phenomenal.

 

[GhostofPotvin29]

One for one!?!? oh my god.

 

[CarltonTheBear]

I'd sure have traded Gardiner for Hall.

This is one of those trades where 28 other teams are thinking "Jesus Christ I could have acquired Taylor Hall for THAT?!?!".

 

[Kin]

Man, you sure hope that Edmonton's scouts see some huge potential for growth there because otherwise...wow.

Is Larsson that good? Like is he the best stay at home D that ever existed? Because if that's the trade, he better be.

 

[herman]

Who can we get for Hunwick?

Rielly for McDavid seems pretty likely if that's the exchange rate.

 

[Deebo]

Now 1 through 6 in the 2010 draft have been traded.

 

[Frank E]

Somebody scrape together some possession stats that show that Larsson is basically on the level of Duncan Keith.

 

[herman]

By comparison, I really really love the Kessel deal.

 

[Zee]

I'm stunned it's a one for one deal.  Hall was the first overall pick and he's a pretty damn good player. 

 

[CarltonTheBear]

So, imagine a Hall-Stamkos-whoever line?
