Great pickup for New Jersey! I loved Adam Larsson, don't get me wrong, but this was an absolute steal by Shero. The fact that PC didn't ask for any sweetener like a prospect or even a draft pick shows just how intelligent Shero is. He knew Edmontons situation and he knew they desperately needed to add a Adam Larsson to their roster. The departure of Larsson while filling a huge need also creates a pretty big hole on the he blue line. Do you think Ray is done? Still needs to address the bottom 6 and now the defense. The top 6 is rounding out quite nicely although I think there is still work to be done.
Camm-Rico-Hall
Boucher-Zajac-Palms
Maybe a guy like Boedker will fit the plans? I know his 5v5 number aren't great but he is fast, younger than Okposo/ Eriksson and with the acquisition of Hall, would make a decent 2nd line winger, pushing Boucher (who I really liked last season) down to the 3rd line where he will face lesser competition. Especially if Zacha cracks the lineup next season, Boucher and Pav could create a decent 3rd scoring line.
Just spitballing some ideas here! I'm way to excited for October now!
I said this before: Taylor Hall is cosmic payback for the the 'Mickey Mouse' incident.
But even with good Karma, divine intervention and a lot of luck I have to give Ray Shero a hand for this one. While I'll always be a Lou Lams fan there is no denying Ray has been killing it for the Devils. If the owners let him add some quality free agents we could be a pretty good club a lot faster then expected.

- I talked to Ray yesterday. He said he's done with all the trades and is retiring from the NHL later this week.

Watch Chia at work his magic during the Seguin trade... ...
the devils won the trade value wise easily but i think edmonton is a better team today then before the trade. If you had to ask what was edmonton's 1 need it would be a player like adam larsson outside of players of doughty/keith/weber etc
