I have never been so PISSED!!! I understand that we had to trade some of our core, but why Taylor Hall? If him, why for such a weak return. (frank)!!!! [] [] []

I agree. I knew Hall might have to go but trading arguably our best and most consistent forward for essentially no one. I wouldn't even trade Eberle for Larson. He looks to be a second pairing guy we are going to throw into the top pairing role. I can't believe that we couldn't get Barrie, Shattenkirk, Vatenan... for Hall? Especially after his play at the worlds this year. This is a kick in the nuts. We aren't trading away our core, we are giving them away for nothing.

Say what you will about Trump, but I don't think he's a homophobe. Florida guy is on his own with that joke.
- Mr.Bobby

Yeah that's fair. It was more a remark on "stereotypical things Trump supporters would say." But I agree, I don't think Trump is a homophobe either.

Who cares if it's a bad trade or not? We knew we would over pay for a D Man, and Larson is a fine player. I do t think we are going to be a worse team next year.
- Jeropotato

I don't think it's a bad trade. It's the kind of overpayment you had to make to get a young minute munching Dman.

You and that Florida fan should link up at the next Trump rally.

I prefer to talk hockey than politics. My outlook on politics may not be the same as yours and I'd rather not get into a political debate as you guys will assume "Oh he's stupid because he's only 17".

Oh no. On that show it is all abt Margerey Tyrell. Natalie Dormer is like a 10.5 on the 1 to 10 scale.

well you have the hockey sense of a turnip, so not surprising

I feel even better about the trade now knowing your opinion on the matter.

That's like 3/4 of the appeal

While primarily and initially used to strictly define fears, 'phobia' has seen its definition grow to encompass general dislike or prejudice towards things (gay people in this case). The layman has evolved the word so his point is completely valid.

Like I said, under 17 I can let that comment slide, over 17 and you should already know this. ^^^

This trade makes me feel better about Jarmo.

I guess that's a fair point, but there's a difference between a joke and actually being a complete Richard.

SPEAKING of second and third pairing Dmen...

Still feels like jailbait to me

Then you should give Brienne a go.

just another Brotato

Shocking that hallfan is upset we traded a player from our group that bottom fed for 6 years. It's gonna turn around any day now!! For sure this time!! Don't trade anyone!!

Shocking than hallfan has no idea about who larsson is. Apparently he's a nobody cause he can't see past Duncan Keith or drew doughty.

Vatanen is signed. Barrie is getting signed or going to arbitration as per sakics words.
Shattenkirk only has 1 year left and u don't know that he'd agree to resign here


All of these facts won't mean a lick though. He'll respond with some brain dead sh1t, reiterating the same exact t posts as this idiocy

so you are accepting the name. Good

No he really isn't. Larsson was a decent player on a garbage New Jersey team. 3 goals and 15 assists for Hall? He really wasn't that good on defense. He barely had any PP time, that should tell you everything you need to know. He's a lesser Olli Maatta.

Sorry, NJ fans fall in love with mediocrity and stay at home defenseman way too much. Sorry Oil, you were bent over and ridden hard on this one. Your team is not better for getting wrecked on this trade.

Yeah larsson sucks, lucky to even be in the nhl

I hope you guys like Puljujarvi
