I'm with you Goose, I think we're better today than before the trade and I think the reason is right in your post about what the lines could have been had we kept Hall. Your example lists them as:
Pouliot-Nuge-Eberle
Hall-Drai-Yak
Maroon-McD-Puljujarvi
The Oilers have taken this line up and switched Hall for Lucic while upgrading their D tremendously. That can't be understated. There's no reason why they can't compete and do the things your link suggest with Lucic instead of Hall, might have to juggle things a little, but it will still work. You don't even have to play Lucic with McDavid either, just because the media says that's where he's going to play, doesn't mean he will.
I understand the argument that some people are making that you can't look at the trade as being Hall for Larsson PLUS Lucic and PLUS Pujujarvi, but at the same time I kind of think you have to. Had the Blue Jackets not passed on Puljujarvi and had Lucic's meeting not gone well with the club prior to free agnecy, then the trade probably doesn't happen as it does. But those events did happen, and that led to the trade. I don't like that it was one-for-one, but I do like the team better today than I did before the trade.

Ya as weird as it is to say it, given that Hall is a much better player overall, I think that had the Oilers traded Nuge instead it would have created way more chaos in their line-up than trading Hall has. Lucic is a sufficient replacement, and I don't think an equivalent centre was available in free-agency. And I would have been very nervous running McDavid/Drai as the top two centres, even with Hall on Drai's wing.
