kliq 3,755 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 (edited) 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.

toby91_ca 620 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
amato 3,210 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

frankgrimes 1,836 Report post Posted June 30, 2016 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. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No he didn't. Lucic was traded June 2015 and Chiarelli was fired April 2015. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
