Default Oilers trade Taylor Hall to NJ for Adam Larsson. 1 For 1.

Players worth more than Larsson taken after him in that draft:

Zibanejad
Scheifele
Couturier
D.Hamilton
J.Gibson
Saad
Kucherov
Some guy named Gaudreau
Palat

Arguably the same or better:

Brodin
Rieder
Shaw


It was FIVE years ago. FIVE YEARS. Draft status is completely irrelevant at this point. Players have either made it or they haven't, and plenty of players drafted high haven't done anything while plenty of players drafted low have done a lot.

EDIT: Got my Rattie Seimen confused.
