Not trying to defend Oil90's ill-attempt at trolling, but Larsson was a beast for us during the 2017 playoffs. He led the team in avg. TOI and points (among defensemen).

Not to mention he had a GWG that gave us an early series lead against the ducks, followed by playing 44 minutes (10 minutes more than any other defender!) in a very close game 5 that took 2 overtimes.

The specifics of the statistics can be found on the hockey reference website.

I guess that hall trade has some second guessing after all. Hall style of play lacks any defence ability and he is always hurt. Larrson is exactly what jersey needs on the blueline.

Nobody is trying to crap on Larsson and say he's not a good hockey player and quality defender. But from a value perspective it was a pretty lopsided trade. The Oil probably deserved an added pick or prospect to make it more equitable.

My post was more so criticism on tom's weak counter to Oil90's claim. My apologies for not clarifying.

as for the value of the trade, ya, hall for Larsson was an overpayment. I was waiting for the additional pieces, hoping for a 1st, but for it to be a one for one... ouch.

Don't get so easily offended by a guy that cannot spell the player's name right. I thought NYR fans would have tougher skin considering what you guys have gone through.

And see above. You could have made a stronger counter to Oil90's playoff claim. That was my sole reason for posting.

So I get the warning for not trolling?

Yup seems like typical HB. Ask the regular posters on this thread and ask how "toxic" I am.

........... What warning? Ignore the ref status and see the claim for what it was. I'm just saying you could have countered his claim better in terms of rationale. That's all. Something like "even with Larsson and all those 1st's, the Oiler's are still poop" would have been better.

Next time, you will get a warning for not being better.

tom burton is toxic as they come. all he does it harass me in every thread because we lose more than his idiot rangers. please ban.

Anywho... do you think you guys will have Hall extended by the end of this coming off-season? It should be the biggest priority for Shero methinks.

The Rangers don't want them. We already have enough dead weight on blue line.

Tom is a peach. He’s a lot more polite here then I am in the Ranger boards. And he knows his hockey so not a bad guy to have around. Just saying.

So you're telling me that the Hall for Larsson deal may actually end up being a win for us?
