Taylor Hall traded to NJ Devils for D Adam Larrson. You gotta ask why???

Random curious thought I have is how is it that two block buster trades happen within 23 minutes of one another?

You have to wonder why the Oilers didn't trade Hall to the Canadiens for Subban. At least that would have made sense for the Oilers. A one for one with two of the best players in the NHL. That would have made it far more palatable for Oiler fans.

It wouldn't have for Habs fans though.  Premier d-men are hard to come by so I don't think Bergevin trades PK unless he gets an equivalent defenseman back... Oilers are definitely lacking in that area.

He didnt get an equivalent D man back though.

Five years ago Weber would have been considered one of the top. But not anymore. He's still good but he's getting up there in age. As you get older it gets harder to play a physical game against younger forwards who give back what they get game after game.

Makes you wonder why Edmonton and Montreal didnt just cut out New Jersey and Nashville and make the deal themselves.

Because if Edmonton had anyone like Weber they wouldn't have needed to trade for a defenceman in the first place. Chiarelli got desperate and sold Hall for pennies on the dollar. There are no character issues or salary issues or any of that, simply desperation for a right handed defenceman and paid a premium to gamble on Larsson developing into a guy that might be worth Hall some day. 

He better turn into that guy though cause Taylor Hall is one of the absolute best 5 on 5 point producers in the NHL, and he's done it on a shitty team with a terrible puck moving blue line backing him up. Just gross that there wasn't even a token plus coming back from the Devils.

If he does get traded, will have to wait to see the return they get, but this trade is tipping more and more into Winnipeg's favour.

Im sure Buffalo is thinking its time to get him out of town.  Two legal issues involving women in a matter of months?  Yikes.

probably a three way with Buffalo.  Trouba to Avs, Landeskog to Buffalo, Kane to Winnipeg.

Ya right ... wait a minute ... thanks for running Canada Day ;)

To Colorado Trouba and One of Eberle or Yak 

To Edmonton Barrie 

To Winnipeg Landeskog Nurse 

 

It's getting pretty obvious in my opinion that Trouba will not be a Jet this season.
