Lucic, the 8th, and a prospect for sale lmk

10th, erikkson, granlund, sutter, schaller, 2pc m&m chocolate for mcdavid?

Member when you traded Taylor Hall but needed a top six winger to play with mcdavid?

I member.

At that point in time we needed defence too. Soooo?

Bad trade was bad.

It was a knee jerk reaction. It ripped open stitches to reach down and put a band aid on a fresher cut.b

True. But tell me this.

How many games Hall play last year?
30?

you cant justify the trade by making note of an injury.

33. But I'd rather miss the playoffs with Taylor Hall on the IR than miss the playoffs with the return in the hall trade in the lineup

Now, without trolling, I understand the trade.
At the time, the market for defense was stiff. No one was giving an inch.
But it wasn't a good trade. The smarter move (easy for me to say maybe) would have been to wait.
That or Larssonbhas genuine #1 upside that we haven't seen yet.
But he's just not like an Aaron Ekblad for example. I think chiarreli was hoping he'd be hedman some day

It’s not this one injury. He’s injury prone too.

Missed 140~ games over 8 seasons due to IR (if my maths correct). I’ve left the lockout shortened season out of calculationssss.

I’m not justifying the trade by this. Just wanted to know how many games he’s made it to this year.

Chiarelli fucked the oilers big time. But it’s not the end of the world...yet
