Shero and devils are the joke of the league...no wonder he doesn't want to sign there long term...I called it when he got traded...Mickey mouse organization continues...sit the player then don't trade him...now what?? Tell him to play but for the love of god dont get hurt like last year...long time before the trade deadline... Shero is getting taken to woodshed it seems with offers fitting of an ageing winger approaching 30...now Larsson plays 20 mins a night on pk and makes $4 million a year and his team looking at playoffs...hmm let's revisit who won that trade again???

i like that a guy who has spent the last 15 years displaying to a group of people that he doesn't know a single thing about anything expects that same group of people to believe he knows 10 things about taylor hall.

The Devils are on crack if they think they are getting all of that for a rental. There is no way Hall signs before July 1. He would be stupid if he did. Yes he might lose that 8th year but he could get traded, check out that market for 4-6 months and if he doesn't like it go UFA. To lock in now before he plays 1 game is doing himself a disservice.

The Devils are going to get a 1st, a player and maybe a good prospect depending where the pick is. The Devils can ask for whatever they want but smart teams will let them twist in the wind knowing they have to trade him or lose him for nothing. The price will come down and that is when it will get interesting.

Pierre McGuire said it's an old savvy GM move to hold a player out of the line-up to make everyone THINK you have an imminent deal with one team to pressure another. And it's not even Ray's move.

This will be a silly saga.
Moving on.

ROFL Oil90 is perhaps the least educated and poorest performing troll on the board...

1) You called it? Dude - it didn't matter if he wanted to sign there long term or not - the Devils got an MVP for a #3 defenceman - they are now going to turn that into likely 2 good young pieces, which is EXACTLY what a rebuilding organization should do.

2) Mickey Mouse organization... since the Oil last won a Cup, the Devils have won 3 Cups, lost twice in the Cup finals....

3) Larsson plays 20 minutes a night? Who cares? That's 2nd pairing minutes.

4) He's 28.

5) Larsson was a -28 last year and is already a -7 this year... In 13 games.

Mickey Mouse? You mean the Oilers over the last 30 years? Pot calling the kettle black.

Hey, I know 10 things about Taylor Hall. Maybe even 11 things.

Just let me check his wiki page and the twitter hashtag for him and I could up that 11 things to possibly 14.

Fair points. Larsson has been used and abused in Edmonton. Their D has been hampered with injuries the last two years and Larsson has been leaned on heavily.
I think he’s better than what his stats show.
He also fractured his tibia in game #1 if the season. I’d like to cut him a bit of slack.

No way two teams in the NHL are dumb enough to make that trade

Good point. #1 defensemen are tough to find...Larsson is just way too valuable.

Still waiting on your pick for the "be the GM" Bullpoop

Yeah, it might be best to make those choices before Hall is actually dealt, lol.
