Hall for Larsson - Oilers and Devils swap players

I dont get why you trade a bona fide star, for a guy who COULD be a star. Maybe Edmonton wins long term, but I feel that there are better defenseman out there that you could have gotten if you are going to offer Hall. Bad trade for Edmonton.

Maybe Edm could have gotten Subban or Weber for Hall, but that would be an issue for them as well...they can't really take on that kind of a cap hit, knowing McDavid is going to take up a big chunk soon. The fact is, Hall shoudl have gotten more, but every other team knows Edm was desperate and they weren't going to get more. Also, Edm is overflowing with high end forwards, so while it looks bad, probably won't hurt that much.

No clue about Weber but it looks like it wasn't that easy for PK..

@TSNRyanRishaug

The ask from MTL for Subban was astronomical to Oil. Draisaitl, #4, Klefbom or Nurse and more.

Apparently they either weren't interested in Hall or thought he was untouchable?

They probably felt they needed some form of D man back in any Subban trade

That would've been a top 10 player for an above average D-man. Equally worse of a trade.

Tell that to team Canada *lol*

Anyhow Hall + for Weber would have been very fair can't believe Hall didn't get them something better. Larsson is not bad but for sure not enough to get Hall. Chiarelli must be very sure that Looch is going to sign there.

They do go way back to their Boston days.

True but Chiarelli also traded him to LA. But man if Looch signs there I would be very comfortable with just staying pat and go after Tavares next year.

No he didn't. Lucic was traded June 2015 and Chiarelli was fired April 2015.
