If these are the type of trades available from Edmonton then we'll give you Hamilton straight up for Eberle.
- Flames in 6 04

Ummmm no...

unreal. i was worried pc was going to do something stupid. But what about Katz. Doesn't he make the last call. Mcdavid will ask for a trade in 2 years.

Oiler season ticket holders - see if you have a veto button you can hit to get the Commissioner to cancel the trade!

Bergevin is looking better today as a GM.

Brutal trade. Sorry guys.

So is Sweeney. There must have been some backroom hand jobs going on with this one.

Chirialli is officall the worst GM in the entire league. This is worse than the Seguin trade

I've been a fan of Larsson for a while. I'd be lying if I said I like the trade (because Hall), but he's been a top pairing guy for New Jersey for a year and a half, has a real solid contract, is a RHD, and is young. May making a great pairing with Klefbom. Not the ideal trade, but Larsson has more ceiling to fill out before I pass any sweeping judgement.
- MaximumBone

If Larsson wasn't a dirty Swede, you would have written an entirely different post...admit it!!!

Wooooow. Bloody hell. What is Chiarelli doing?!?!?!

That has to be the worst trade ever made in the history of the NHL. It would get vetoed in a fantasy league!
- maaddmike

McDonough for Gomez was worse. But yeah--pretty bad trade for Edmonton.

This is brutal. Hamonic is twice as good as Larsson. Keep giving players away. You will be bad forever

In true Ray Shero fashion... he saved the 1st round pick to blow on a veteran at the trade deadline.


Also... holy poop this trade is bad... Pittsburgh would have likely given you Olli Maatta for Hall if you needed a top pairing Dman THAT badly.

I'm sorta a fan of his too.
I certainly think/thought he could be that guy, but wasn't aware he was that already

I think long term it's fine, but I dunno about short term.

Still nice to read those words about larsson

Larsson is good.


But man oh man did PC overpay

What a joke, I thought things were improving with Chia?

With skills?

Ya those 5 even strength goals in 3500mins are dynamite
- ehabs9

plays against #1 line 44% Dzone faceoffs...it's going to be tough putting up points..yet he still has the lowest shots against ca60 on his team ( defense )

Lets see how this works out before shooting the Chiapet.

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)!!!!
- Sammy Van Hagar

yeah (frank)ing brutal

Wow...

This has to be a joke...

The ONLY positive to come out of this trade is that we now have our (potential) 6'3 first-pairing right-handed defenseman who has puck-moving skills. Now we can stop hearing about this bullpoop!!

(frank), I can't believe we just gave Taylor Hall away!!!

Oh yeah you Oilers fans are female doging now but wait til you make the playoffs next year.

He is a LEGIT first pairing defender who can play heavy minutes and in all situations. We on the forums have mixed emotions about this and so should you... this guy is a rock solid defenseman. Treat him well
- archromat

LOLOLOLO - sell this all you want devs fan. Chia just bent over and took one so far I see it poking out his head. Possibly one of the worst one for one trades in my 42 years on earth watching this sport. I honestly have no words for this. Im so so sorry Oilers fans. As an islander fan I get it from Milbury days but this is so far worse then anything he could have done. Wow is all I can say

Yes, and Taylor Hall is a top-5 LW in the NHL.

LOL X 1000000000000000000
Oilers fans, you just got RAPED!!!!

You say this now, but if somebody has proposed this trade before hand you would have laughed in their face. I told you that chia was going to have to overpay for a dman.

Im not even shocked by this. I knew for a while PC would make a really stupid move. He'll justify it by saying we now have Larsson and Lucic for Hall. What a bad bad trade.

Is this real life?

People of Edmonton get down to Rexall and burn that mother to the ground.

Larsson isn't even that good. What the (frank) just happened?

MADNESS

im done with this team... (frank) you Chia

and I thought the Bogosian + for Hall were ridiculous....
