It was actually more appropriate than the derp you posted.

Wow lots of derp going on around here.

Rackell, Ritchie, Shea Theodore, and their first

Myers and Larsson

I'm going to be sad when he no longer plays.

Hopefully he is tutoring Tatar

I think offense is the last thing edmonton needs going forward.

Again this is all ridiculous. ..but IMO to a rebuilding team jones over hall all day. #1 D over scoring winger. See phill kessel in TO.

We don't score much either.

Your basic premise is valid on franchise defenders, but it's not based on facts at this point.
But a true proven stud for hall ++? Sure.

But jones is not that yet. Hall is better than Seth Jones as of today.

And we have no one that could fill halls role in the system.
But nurse might be comparable to jones going forward. And based on the conjecture uve used, this is no less plausible.

But yes, it is all ridiculous

And Nyquist. Mantha will be a stud once he gets his 4-5 years of AHL time in.

Bolded statement is true but you aren't making a trade for today. Oilers are a long way from being a contender and Jones is a better long term option.

That works too. Anything in Detroit you are interested in?
- Feds91Stammer

Pretty much youre entire team.

Mantha will be ready for 3rd line minutes in 2019.

Yup

I have gas

just another day in Derp paradise.

I just want that Werenski kid. He is just so calm with the puck, never panics.

Larkin will win the Norris in 2022

Again, far from fact.

I'll take nurse and hall over Seth Jones.
It's not like we're some super high scoring team that doesn't also desperately need forwards that drove possesion.

And we certainly aren't adding to hall to acquire jones.

This makes no sense for more reasons than it does to pull the trigger in such a deal

Yeah but we have Nurse, Klef and Marincin and Schultz......all talented, all young,....our D will be good in about 4 or 5 years once they learn how to play the (frank)ing game.

- dothedougie

He's going to stay in college so he can be a rocket surgeon. Never plays an NHL game.

Leafs have percy finn etc...good but not franchise. Teams like the oil and leafs need quality over quantity. Get the building blocks in place ...then add.

Oh he will. Wait until he is 21 and starts boozing it up in college. Grades will drop then he will go back to hockey. Seemed to work out for Matt Frattin.......

- clark_griswold

So your argument is jones is unequivocally way ahead of where nurse and klefbom might be and we have no need for hall?

No. Just no.

All conjecture.
