BlueSkirt Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I always liked Larsson. A 1st round pick has huge expectations. But in then end he was simply the best looking D on a team of average D. the point is we are in a position where you can & have to make the big deal to get us out of the offensive hole. And they'll always be another team willing to take a chance on Hall of he doesn't workout here. Good Day for NJ !! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It allows us to sign a UFA Dman and be able to protect them. Before trade- we protect Greene, Severson, Larsson After trade- we protect Greene, Severson, ?????

aylbert Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Can we just grab Luke Schenn as a reclamation project and try to get him to be a shut down D? He's still only 26. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Granted we shouldn't base our feelings off of how other fans react - but everyone seems to think we FLEECED Edmonton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T0asterleav1ns Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I need a moment.... I need a moment... I think I'm okay with this... Big risk though if Larsson turns into a TRUE no1. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They're right. Taylor Hall is a 1st line LW capable of scoring 40 goals and Adam Larsson is a shutdown/PK defenseman who can play 23 minutes a night but isn't blowing the doors off. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I'm still waiting for the other shoe to drop though. Like we all jumped the gun thinking it's a one-for-one, I feel like there's gotta be a pick or piece involved. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 And I was just about to get a Larsson jersey, too... All in all, I did not want to move Larsson, but this is a deal that if available, had to be made. I think Adam has developed very well the last year or two, but to get a stud forward and increase our scoring, I am ok with it. Good luck in Edmonton, Adam. Welcome to Hell, Taylor.

coldply123 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Oilers needed a shutdown D badly. They needed Larsson bigtime. He will make them a better team even if in a vacuum he might not be the Lidstrom people thought he would. Hall is talented but does have some questions himself on maturity. But on talent and skills he will make the Devils dangerous 5v5 and on the PP. And he's 24. And he and Henrique are friends and have chemistry. Good feelings all around.

Daniel Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 The thing is, McDavid is good enough that the Oilers could have gotten Jon Merill in this deal and they'll probably be a playoff team pretty soon. In two years, McDavid could probably take an AHL team with an above-average goalie to the playoffs. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrBreeze Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I took a look on EDM, NYR and PHL Reddit pages and their fans are pissed/concerned. It's a good day. We've been screaming for some offense, this is a team friendly, good upside deal. Losing Larsson sucks, but you gotta give to get 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hystyk28 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 My buddy from EDM hit me up about 20 minutes before this broke and I told he was full of sh!te. Great trade. All day everyday. Brilliant.

Devilsfan118 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 Only thing I'll say is - I feel for Adam on this one. He's such a great kid, he's going to have monstrous expectations on him up there since he cost them Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jim777 Posted June 29, 2016 Share Posted June 29, 2016 I don't have twitter or even ANY social media, but I got a text from a friend that says Stamkos signed with the Bolts and Montreal and the Preds swapped Webber and Subban. Again, not saying these happened but I know someone on here can check both of these rumors out better than I can Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
