Really pointless talking to you, as your tendancy for gross overstatement is on par with your inability to read.
I clearly said Larsson is under pressure to fix Edmonton's defense, which is the worst in the NHL - as a 23 year old developing defenseman.
He does not single handedly solve their problem. In fact, it remains to be seen how a player that young will deal with the change in system, and being thrust into the spotlight as "the solution". It's a BIG question mark. Not an automatic.
2nd - and separate from the point above - is the fact that Hall was a significant driver of Edmonton's offense, which they have not yet replaced.
These are very simple points, both of which show you saying "Edmonton got better yesterday" is in no way a certainty. In fact, it's a big giant question mark.
Really couldn't be more simple.
