Devils acquire Taylor Hall for Adam Larsson

[Kin]

I mean, yeah, we can pile on the criticisms guys but Anaheim and St. Louis didn't bite I guess.

 

[Bill_Berg]

The tank-masters in action. Impressive.

RIP Hall - McDavid - Puljujarvi
Long Live Lucic - McDavid - Puljujarvi

Hampus Lindholm + for Hall would've been a more reasonable match.

Or couldn't take on Hall's $6m?

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

That is a disgraceful trade, Chiarelli ladies and gentlemen, Oilers fans might riot.

 

[Frank E]

Good lord...

 

[Coco-puffs]

Who can we get for Hunwick?

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

Hunwick and Reilly are Left-handed.  Only worth about half as much in a trade it seems.

Finally, a gutsy Oiler move!

Even then, you'd figure they could flip him for something.

It's hard to trade for defensemen. You know Ryan Johansen? He's really good.

Well, EDM needs D, Larsson is young, hopefully he can be their rock because they paid dearly for him.

They did, but they can also make it back in spades with an RNH trade.

Umm, that's not how it works...

Hall is the better trade piece between Hall and RNH.  They aren't making anything back unless someone horrendously overpays for him.  Given that Chiarelli couldn't get value for Hall, he sure as hell isn't getting it for RNH.

He compares well to Nathan Beaulieu

I'm serious here, this might be the worst trade I've ever seen.

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

I'm pretty sure I heard an actual record-scratch sound out loud when I read that.

So we have to get angry at the Leafs for not getting in on this, right?  Like something like Hunwick + a 6th probably gets it done?  Edmonton is legitimately terrible at everything.  It really highlights just how poorly Burke handled the Kessel trade.  That's the only time the Bruins/Chia have received good value for their young players.

I think that's a very fair assessment. Certainly one-for-one.

They should bury Chiarelli with spades for the Hall trade.
