Anyone know where we can find a guy whose only played a dozen or so NHL games since 2008? If found, we should pay him almost 6 million.

Taylor Hall will be Lupul 2.0 from an injury standpoint, but in terms of talent Edmonton got fleeced

I can't believe how (frank)ing dumb the Habs management has been. What a cluster(frank). Pk has personality, he's different, he has too much fun, he wears purple suits and goofy hats....he's got to go. That's not the type of person we want with our team, lets go get a guy suspended for homophobic slurs and another guy that bailed on his team In The playoffs and smacked his coach in the face with his stick.

Shaw is such a (frank)ing twat..

Radulov meh... I hope he Richards around like kovalev did.. The fans will love him and talk about his skill, but he'll do jack poop.

We'll see about the injury part, I think Hall will do well in NJ. They have no offence. If Clarkson can score 30 goals on that team, maybe Hall will be good for at least 40. He's not as fragile as Cammalleri - who makes the same money and has not played a full season in 10 years. Plus he scores way more and is much more talented than Cammalleri.

He didn't set the market price.. PC set the standard GM..

Hall is an elite winger.. He should have fetched an elite defenseman.

Like who?

He traded for Shat but Shat declined going to Edm.

I'll wait and see how Larson looks before judging.

I think Hall will do well in NJ and actually prefer it over Edmonton..

The Oil are going to have lots of enemies in the league.

Meh, ever work with someone you just can't stand to be around?

I did, I asked for a trade...best day of my life when it happened.

He's certainly a good player I agree but I can understand why he was traded....I don't think it was just the off ice hat and suits either...they had an on ice game plan which PK didn't really follow either.

No one I guess..

The point is that Larsson is not even close to Hall in terms of value.. They shoulda waited until a better option came along..

It was a bad trade. Hall is worth like a Petro, or OEL... Edmonton pulled the trigger too fast.

I am not sure I agree on PK, if you are only looking at possession stats, I understand - Weber is one of the first names called out by the GM of Team Canada, and PK is not. He is older, I think this deal is wait and see. Radulov - even though only one year is a very questionable, same with the Shaw over payment. You are right Bergeron is acting out of desperation but the PK deal was the second choice - he had a deal with Chiarelli that would have been much better for the Habs.

Edmonton needed someone who can play defense.

The only defender to have played 1,000 minutes last year and have a lower goals against per 60 was Stralman (1.29) to Larssons (1.35).

Stralman had 34 points, but 12 were on the PP (meaning he had exactly 2 more even strength points than Larsson).

Yet Stralman who is 6 years older is a legit defender, and Larsson is dog poop.

I think a lot of people are going to be very surprised at just how good Larsson is.

2 people work together and don't get along.... Which one does the company want to get rid of, the higher ranked guy that does his job really well or the shlub who is mediocre at his?

I'm neither thrilled nor upset. We signed one guy to a 2.5 cap hit. Can't do any less than that really. Yea he's a 4th liner but whatever. He's a type of player this team is thin on right now.

D>wingers

No chance you get OEL...so Edm sits on 103 power forwards and misses playoffs some more because they have no D?

I'll wait and see myself...Larsson sounds like a good player but I'll wait and watch.

You could be right ( on the bad trade ) but we won't know for awhile IMO

Rychel still has waiver exemption, so if he doesn't make it out of camp he can go to the Marlies and be one of their top guys.

Woah woah woah.

Dog poop? Nobody said that. But Larsson is not even close to being worth the 4th leading scorer the last few seasons. Not even close.

we'll have to wait and see.. but I doubt theres a single NJ fan who doesn't like the trade.

and we are saving our surprised reactions for Zaitsev..
