Brutal. Guess he just wanted a fresh start.

Messier 2.0's trade tree ended up a lot shorter than Messier 1.0.

The trade was one for one will live on for all time! :)

Hey, Bob Stauffer told me it was basically Hall for Larsson, Lucic and Cap Space. Now we have even more cap space and James Neal!!!!

You must be thrilled Larsson is gone. You did nothing but bash the guy and tell us how much of a mistake it would be to sign a guy like him due to his back issues and limited skills.
Bear is apparently better than Larsson according to some in here so there shouldn't be a problem right?

It would be a mistake to chew up yet another thread with a bunch of snarky comments from you, so I'm not going to spend all day responding. That said, Bear being better than Larsson doesn't mean that Larsson had no value. You always seem to think that if someone says X is better than Y that that somehow reduces Y's value to nil...but in fact, you need multiple RD on the team. If we had a greater sample size of viewings on Bouchard, maybe you could be comfortable seeing Larsson sail in to the sunset because you have Bouchard step up and take a larger role, but we haven't seen that and it's usually better to break in rookies with weaker opposition.

Signing someone like Barrie, who also needs weaker competition means that the heavy lifting required by Bear - who is himself a younger defenceman still - is extreme. We have virtually no one else at RD right now. The rest of the good prospects are LD, so it leaves a big hole to patch.

If it makes you feel better about losing Larsson and the direction this management is trending, then you can continue to misrepresent my views to your heart's content though.

So I misrepresented what you said. I guess someone took control of your account then on that day in the Adam Larsson extension thread, message #784919.

"Agreed with this. Bear is better than Larsson already. Larsson is limited in what he can do, because he isn't a very good puck-mover and he relies a lot on his defence partner to advance the puck. His usage for a lot of this year is something I dislike seeing from Tippett, because when he plays with guys like Russell, they are in a never-ending cycle of dump it out and then defend again.

Bouchard - it's too early to tell, but I think he could quickly surpass Larsson, especially if you go out more than one year. You really have to hope he does - because he's the great white hope for Oilers RD.

I do think Klefbom is miles ahead of Larsson in importance - if we lost one of the two to Seattle, I'd much rather see #6 go. I believe the winds are blowing towards a successful return for Klefbom - and while he's likely to have some rust on him, he's still an important player and could really solidify our LD side. I am still pretty worried he ends up in Seattle, because if he is unprotected, he's worth the gamble for them versus the leftovers we're offering them up otherwise. Unlike Matheson, I don't think there's a hope in hell that Seattle takes Josh Archibald - and if they do, I'm rejoicing."

So good news, they didn't lose Klefbom who's way more important than Larsson as he sits on LTIR for this season and maybe the next.

That does not say there is no value, or that we don't need three RD. We have a hole. Maybe you hadn't noticed?

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
