FireCaptain 563 Report post Posted June 29, 2016 https://www.nhl.com/news/oilers-trade-taylor-hall-to-devils-for-adam-larsson/c-281082608 The Edmonton Oilers traded left wing Taylor Hall to the New Jersey Devils for defenseman Adam Larsson on Wednesday. Hall, 24, had 65 points (26 goals, 39 assists) in 82 games this season. Taken by the Oilers with the first pick of the 2010 NHL Draft, Hall has 328 points (132 goals, 196 assists) in 381 games. He has scored at least 20 goals four times in six seasons. The Devils were No. 30 in the League at 2.22 goals per game this season, and their leader in goals and points, forward Kyle Palmieri, can become a restricted free agent Friday. Larsson, 23, had three goals and 15 assists in 82 games this season, and averaged an NHL-career best 22:30 of ice time per game. The right-shot defender was the No. 4 pick of the 2011 draft. He has 64 points (nine goals, 55 assists) in 274 games. The Oilers have one right-shot defender signed for next season, Mark Fayne. Adam Clendening and Eric Gryba, the other right-shot defensemen who finished 2015-16 with the Oilers, will become unrestricted free agents Friday. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PavelValerievichDatsyuk 1,935 Report post Posted June 29, 2016 I feel like Hall should have brought more than Larsson. It is a good pickup for them, though since they've been looking for Dmen. I'll bet they were fishing for P.K. and maybe Weber and heard they were out of the running. 1 Dominator2005 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Regardless there's no way Edmonton shouldn't be getting more than just Adam larsson for Taylor hall , that's just complete nonsense 1st/larsson and a prospect/player for hall would of made more sense , a 1 for 1 deal is ludicrous Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ekmanc 586 Report post Posted June 29, 2016 Larsson is a solid player but nowhere near the levels of Hall and they really should've gotten much more for him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Juklitz 85 Report post Posted June 29, 2016 His numbersarwnt high because of the team he played with. --- and now he´s going to play for usual cup contender. You´re right when speaking about fitting with Oilers, that´s obvious they were looking for D. My point is that Hall´s value is much higher. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hall is superior to Patrick Kane in possession and scoring chance creation. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Superman54 91 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) Edmonton did not win this deal, they lost this deal considerably. The fact that Hall is 3rd (points per game) 5 on 5 playing with that dreadful oilers team the last 4 years is almost incredible. Ridiculous to consider Oilers winners if your statically speaking right now amongst rating hall as a forward and Larsson on defense. Yes defensemen take longer to develop but all signs are pointing that Larsson will not be in the elite level that Hall has already proven to be.
