Edmonton's strategy... amass high draft picks, throw them straight into the lineup and devalue them completely, overpay UFAs ridiculously and collect all the 4th defencemen in the league.

In the last 5 seasons of NHL play, Adam Larsson was the 106th defenceman in points. Nikita Nikitin was 108th. So clearly an upgrade for Oil.

I think the answer on Edmontons scouting has been out for years now.

I thought Larsson makes 4.5 mil a year? I don't really think they save much money.

Won't be too surprised if Edmonton wins the deal. Hall was always the type of player that had good stats but was so insanely selfish he cost the team nearly as much as he helped. Losing an offensive winger for a 206 pound 23 year old dman isn't an immediate loss. Give it 4 years and we'll see where their careers go.

They save less than 2M in cap space.

Yup:

#Oilers gain $1,833,334 in cap space with Larsson/Hall swap, up to $13.288M in cap space for 13F/8D/2G.

The Hall deal combined with not qualifying Gazdic means McDavid has lost both of his roommates.

Yeah for sure... the character assassination is coming shortly, classic Edmonton. And then on the messageboards some oilertroll will start a made up off the ice scandal.

Even if they sign Demers:
Klefbom - Larsson
Sekera - Demers
Davidson - Nurse

Thats a good 6 in terms of upside. Whether any of them reach that while in EDM is another story.

Maybe they don't have a workhorse #1 but they have a solid, competent defensive corps that will fit well with the likes of McDavid. Draisaitl, and Puljujarvi.
Hate to say it but Chiarelli knows what he's doing.
If you subscribe to intentional Oilers-related ignorance.

Davidson is fine. But he's 3/4 guy at best, more likely 5/6 at this point.
Klefbom - who knows at this point. Could be a Brodie but still a ways to go.
Larsson - 3/4 guy.
Not sure how this is a good top 3. Its cheap, and not awful, but not a top 3.
