Catch all thread for discussing other NHL teams/news.

 

Up first:  Pittsburgh Penguins, my secondary team to cheer for.

 

I guess their worst start since Sid's rookie year could be because of their lousy defense.  Or bad coaching.  Or Kessel.

 

But in reality its because I took Fleury in my pool every year for 10 years until last year when I was fed up, he has his best year ever and then I took him this year and now he sucks. 

 

But really, whats the deal?  They might be the first to can their coach.

wow.  Wonder whats involved.  I'd have loved to be in on Hall.

Would have to be Larrson

 

 

Hall for Larsson. It's done. Might be more to it but those are the 2 main pieces. 

 

Turns out Eberle or RNH or Yakupov isn't worth a top 4 D man.

Guess this also means Lucic will sign in Edm

sounds like it's 1 for 1. WOW. shocking. Hall must have some sort of issues off the ice that the Oilers don't like. 

New Jersey is quietly building a pretty decent team

I thinks more about getting a top pairing defenceman 

We couldnt get him for that?

I dunno. I think it's got a lot to do with cleaning out the locker room, i also think it shows that RNH EBERLE and Yakupov don't have the value to get a top 4 D man. 

 

Larsson is a very good player. Oilers fans heads are exploding but i trade a Winger for a TOP 4 top 2 D man everyday.

Why would we want him? You know he'd become our 2nd highest paid player behind Buff right? Jets wouldn't want Hall, I see no interest there at all in him. 

 

We don't need anymore wingers.. we need LHD... 

There have been whispers out of Edmonton about Hall but seriously the Oilers just got bent over.

EDM traded wrong 6 million dollar man IMHO.

Oilers fans are losing their minds right now.

In a good or bad way.

This is his Wiki page right now:

Larsson seems like an underachiever so far in his career.

I've also heard stories about how disliked Hall is in Edmonton. Must be true. I can't see how this trade makes sense otherwise. It seems like a big win for New Jersey.

I feel like I might spend the entire afternoon crying. An absolutely embarrassing abortion of a trade by Chia, who has now dealt both Taylor Hall and Tyler Seguin and got completely schooled on both deals. Hall is their best player right now (McJesus will be soon, but at this exact moment, Hall is their best player) and to only get a B-List (at best) D like Adam Larsson is embarrassing. To not even get picks or anything thrown in....just....how?

also, they're obviously signing Lucic on Friday, but even with that, it's a massive downgrade at LW. Humongous downgrade...

Subban for Shea Weber...wow!

And McKenzie says Stamkos is staying in TB. Things are going crazy today...

Hall is an elite winger... Deadmonton got hosed.

I had faith in Chia... until that deal.  

wow, are there some big names being moved, just wow.
