I feel sick. Peter Chiarelli is an idiot. After all Oiler fans have been thru and the crap we've had to take from Flame and Canuck fans, we have to eat crap again for a brutal brutal trade.

I here these idiots on the radio saying it a good trade, only clueless fans in Edm think this is a good trade.

Nobody is saying its a good trade, but we could be a better team as a result, which is all that matters. Quit falling in love with players and worrying about wins and losses on the trade front. Worry about the games.

Pretty sure he won't be the savior, but he's taking a lot of preasure of Sekeras for sure.
- Jeropotato

And at least the expectations won't be high.

Yeah but what are the Oilers gonna do with 2 first rounders.....useless.

That being said. How could Chia not get at least a decent pick thrown in there.....
- The-O-G

Because that was the deal on the table?

Team executive just told me he would've packaged two future first-round picks and a ~ P2 defender for Taylor Hall as a starting point.


- lumlums

Yeah hearing more poop like this. Lots of GMs say they didn't even get a chance to make an offer. Hall sounds pissed.

Oh well. We move on.

Chia sounds and looks nervous discussing this one. Knows this is going to define his time here.

It's not brutal in the sense of we are getting a player back that sucks. It's just a little bit of a kick to gut when you know Halls value is more at this moment. But why would teams want to help us? I wouldn't.

No idea what Armstrong was offering, but most St. Louis fans thought we would have to add Schwartz's rights to Shattenkirk in order to get Hall.

What are you doing here? I suppose you think Dougie is the better defender than AL?

dont hate. Larsson has potential.

Well fck me, grab a set of negotiation skills.

Pretty sure he won't be the savior, but he's taking a lot of preasure of Sekeras for sure.
- Jeropotato

He's always going to be tied to Hall now, he has to go in there and kill it right away or the hate will be huge.

You guys traded a first ballot HOFer for an AHL defenseman or something of the sort. Pay no mind, Larsson will be very good for the Oilers.

You're my security blanket right now

I won't forget you being there for me when times get tough for you too

I knew something bad was going to happen...

Give me your best

You know I'd give it back

Quality post Iggy!

I'm sure he had plenty of talks and grinder em down as much as he could...if there was a better trade, he would have made it.

That There's some logic here is way too much for some to comprehend

Only because so many Oilers fan boys are idiots.
I'm happy we got Larson, I'll leave it at that.

Not sure. Some other GMs are saying they would have paid more if they knew he was actually available. Not sure if he was shopped well enough.

I wonder what all the Mac T haters/PC Lovers are saying now? I ain't reading back.

But more in what sense? More assets or a better right shot d man?

It's possible. It may just be PC Coveted Larrson over the others for some reason.

So are you over all pretty choked? It was a weak deal but I applaud PC for having the balls. Just goes to show the Mac T haters out there how hard it is to get defenders.

- Jeropotato

I'm not.

We all said we would be fine with Hall going for the right guy. Larsson isn't that guy in my opinion. We still don't have a #1 Dman. Every team that has won the cup the last decade has had that 1 guy.

Feels like a rush job after getting a Lucic verbal, and guessing he didnt call anyone in the West.
