Canes don't need another under-sized, fast, offensively gifted forward. Although, I did used to love watching his father play in the Canes uniform '97-'03.

If he's better than any individual forward on the current roster, we need him.

Where skill is equal, choose size. Never, ever choose size over skill.

You are measuring the team accomplishments as opposed to the individual players.

Edmonton's success has much more to do with the full-time addition of Connor McDavid than it has anything to do with Larsson.

Hall is a vastly superior player. Sure, Edmonton is in better shape as a team right now, but that has nothing to do with the relative values of the players involved in the trade.

Is Taylor Hall's value diminished by the poor goaltending/defense of the Devils? Is it not worth taking into account the relative strength of the divisions each team plays in as well?

There are simply too many factors involved to try and comare based on team results, so you have to look at what each player brings to the table, and in that situation, Taylor Hall is almost infinitely superior.

- BINGO!


but what about the fact that Hall cant stay healthy? Thats a big factor that I'm sure PC considered when making the deal

No, not really. But he's also only 24. Hard to make that judgement. It's not as though they've all been the same injury.
