A firestorm ravaged through the city of Edmonton as a result of Edmonton oilers star forward Taylor Hall being dealt to the offensively challenged New Jersey Devils in exchange for right-handed defender Adam Larsson.
Many fans are enraged by the trade, and that’s understandable to an extent. To the naked eye one can easily identify the lopsided value in the deal. Plain and simple, Jersey got an established, premier top left winger, while the Oilers got a promising, young, non-established rearguard.
It was a trade that most fans worried would happen.
