That's some harsh brotato.

You do know who the (frank) I am, don't you?

It's a no win situation with 90% of the people on the internet who are complete mindless idiots. Sheep who follow the popular narrative without actually thinking for themselves.
Is Hall better than and worth more than Larsson simply comparing the two? Absolutely.
Has Edmonton needed Dmen, and been trolled for.years now how these flashy scoring forwards aren't working? That's obvious.
Has what Edmonton been doing actually working? (frank) no
So now they pick up a dman who clearly fills a need and steps in and can play top minutes on the oilers and is a right shot, and all of a sudden the Oilers got raped and it was a stupid move, being stated by the exact same people who have been saying for years to change the core and the Oilers over value their forwards.
Probably best to just get banned for a week and take a break....going out with a bang of course.

Right on brother...this trade will help make the Oil a better TEAM. That's what it's all about.

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.
- Jeropotato

No chance....using your logic any monkey (including James Tanner) could be a GM; "just ask around and take the best offer AMIRITE".

So much more to negotiations, building up (or driving down) perceived value, relationship management etc etc etc.

Chia comes off looking like a goof. Even though I agree with your take, bad trade value but the Oilers are better off.

Yakupov. Maybe Nuge. Nurse, too
- MaximumBone

After seeing the return for Hall I would be scared to see what teams would offer for Nurse lol

Let's see what the team looks like when the season starts. Then we can judge.
- Oildrum

nice to see chia getting the ball rolling... glad he had the balls to pull the trigger.

Ok so does that mean Oilers should trade talent at $0.40 on the dollar, just so we can make trades?
I am not the only one who feels Oilers got fleeced, blogs, polls, twitter overwhelmingly agree Oilers go raped.

Group think and popular narrative as evidence ?

Surprising

A solid hockey post from Leon? What's next? An Ogopogo sighting on camera?

Good work

bit of a wake up call for oilers fan..... oilers got what they needed and shook up the 6 mil boys club

Enjoy McDavid for 6 more years, he's gonna want out of this poop show ASAP!

Those are always signs of rational discussion.

At least let Larsson play one full season as an Oiler before you throw him on the trash heap.

Christ...

I knew we would have to lose on a trade. I just thought it would be on a Nuge or Ebs trade.

- Ihateallofu

When 90% of the planet is inhabited by morons, why should anyone care about the popular opinion?

Give away? Jesus. Could we have gotten a better D for Hall? If so, who?

Or..could we have gotten Larrson or an equally competent defender for less than Hall? If so, who and for what?
- Jeropotato

If you get raped in a Hall deal, why trade him? Trade RNH, Eberle +++, why get raped?
Problem is everyone is panicking that trades have to be made asap, why? Season doesn't start until Oct.

JABROTATO!!!

Your team has been in the bottom 5 for how long? Give Larsson a chance, you'll see you didn't "give away" Taylor Hall.
- Mr.Bobby

The logic is a waste of time


These are the same people who blamed everything on mact. Or said trade for a defender already !!
Make changes!
Hall is poor defensively .


Etc etc etc

filled a huge hole

Would you rather have dealt Hall for 1 (frank)ing year of Shattenkirk?

There's no evidence to show they wanted nuge or ebs instead

So just force Jersey to take Nuge or Eberle instead? Ok.
