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

Arguably the same or better:

Seimens
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.


This is a joke right? Like seriously? You can hate the oilers all you want, but don't let your bias stop you from making sound judgment. Larsson is a young, decent NHL defenseman.

His value is certainly higher than players like Siemens (1 NHL game) and Rattie (26 NHL
Games). These guys are in bust category and haven't proved anything close to the level of Larsson.

Your list is terrible.
