It worked out well for the Devils when they acquired Hall

Did it though?

Each team has only made the playoffs once since that trade.

The Oilers were only 1 questionable goal away from the WCF. Larsson was huge in the playoffs, posting 2-4-6 in 13 games, including 1 GWG.

Jersey was eliminated in 5. Hall posted a respectable 2-4-6 in 5 games.

Oilers will probably make the playoffs this season, with a resurgent 20+ min per game Larsson playing a substantial part.

Jersey is falling apart with Hall, though it is far from all his fault.

Sooo... I dunno 7.

And I’d argue that Dobson is gonna be MUCH better than Larsson.

Larsson is certainly a very good defensive defenseman no doubt but did he become the player he was supposed to be? I say no fell short by a lot. Especially offensively. Hall lead the Devils in scoring and was the NHL MVP. Best player in the league basically so...
That said when Leddy comes back Dobson being on the bench isn’t doing a thing as far as addressing the teams needs to improve scoring going into the POs. At some point you have to trade prospects and or picks to take that next step. You can’t hold on to your prospects that maybe or probably develop into top players. That’s what Snow did and the team was stuck in the same gear for years. You have to give to get and the Islanders could be 1 player away from a Cup and if it takes a top prospect that may become a top flight player I’ll do it to get that piece. Vegas traded Brannstrom to Ottawa for Stone, I don’t think they care that he was the top D prospect in the league. They may lose that trade in the long run but they acquired a piece that helps them now.
Now it may not take a Dobson type prospect to get Hall, it depends on what the other teams offers are obviously and if the Devils are allowing teams to negotiate a long term contract which I have heard they are not at this point.

He’s obviously going to be traded and I would love to see him on the Islanders. He’s exactly what they need as far as scoring imho.

I guess Ek got the right story today

At least. But would be out for 2 years after that collision MDC took

Broke his ankle right before training camp. Played 7 games with BPST so far.

Now he’s a prospect I’d move in a package for Hall.

Bellows, Wilde, Holmstrom and a 1st. If Shero doesn’t like that, he can go (frank) himself with this:

Yep! He may turn out to be a nice player but he one prospect the Isles can afford to move.

Is Dinglebury still our GM?

Yes...Wilde and A pick (I’d prefer not the 1st, but that’s as far as I go), that’s the best I’m doing. Of course, NJ is pulling the Scott Boras right now....the Yankees, another team (the Yankees), and a mystery team (the Yankees) want Gerrit Cole, so the Yankees had better ante up....LOL. We’ll see if it works out for them....

Not sure if it’s the new iPhone or the data changed on this site but I can’t get the desktop version any longer which makes it even more horrible.
