I want him next to Hedman
- DrouinsDrone

I actually thought of this the other day. I have no desire to trade Larsson but they'd be great as a pairing for the next decade or so.

Ideally, I'd want:
Larsson + 41st overall
for
Drouin

Realistically, I'd want:
Namestnikov + Paquette + 28th overall + Purcell
for
Larsson + 41st overall + Ryder

This trade would set up both sides quite nicely. Gets the Bolts a future stud to play with Hedman and gets the Devils a couple very solid young forward prospects with 2nd and 3rd line potentials. The 28th overall pick would further make up for the Kovy penalty too. Also, both sides give underperforming players a change of scenery and hope for a return to 50-60 point performances.

I don't think there are many trades that would pry drouin. Connelly + pick for larsson could work

I'd like the oilers to inquire on Larsson. We need another right hand shot dman.

Would there be any gagner interest? What would you offer back? His production is not far off from henrique when you take into account the broken jaw he came back way too early for. A bit better on the draw than henrique but both aren't good. He can play RW too.

I don't think Larsson would be moved for Gagner. The asking price for Gagner was rumored to be a prospect and a third, but as of recently I think it could be a high second.

I personally have very little interest in Connelly. In terms of the Oilers, I actually would entertain Gagner and Larsson being the main pieces of a deal. Ryder would 100% have to go back the other way with Larsson though. Gagner + something for Larsson and Ryder could maybe work but I don't see a great fit. I'd love Eberle though... Larsson + 41st overall + Brunner + conditional 2015 first rounder (differed to 2016 only if Devils get a top 5 pick) for Ebs and a 3rd or 4th... Maybe that works, maybe not

TB is not a fair trading partner for Larsson. I think the only realistic trading partner for Larsson would be the Oilers, maybe the Jets, or anyone who would blow the Devils socks off with a deal (which isn't going to happen).

I never wanted Connolly from the moment he was drafted. He seems skilled but everyone knew his ceiling from the moment he was drafted. He'll probably turn into a second line winger.

Larsson is sort of like a better Niederreiter at this stage (Neiderreiter was absolutely awful in his first regular shift season with the Isles but they still got really good trade value out of him)... you're still not quite sure what his ceiling is and that tags on the value of us acquiring a player whom you're also not quite sure what his ceiling is OR a player of higher value that has a limited ceiling (that's not Connolly, Connolly is not doing that great with his NHL stats cuz he's not that heavy).

If we're trading Larsson, we're getting either a good forward for him (young 2nd line winger about to hit prime), and as good as Purcell is, not good enough, or a talented forward who hasn't yet hit his potential.

Who do you guys want from the lightning to give us Adam Larsson?

Drouin or hedman

I would definitely entertain a gagner + 2015 2nd + gernat for Ryder + larsson

I would hope the oilers do this deal after signing a grabovski in the free agent market.

Actually it's funny you say that. I had a bad gut feeling about Connolly too. I guess he's only 22 and is putting up points in the ahl so you can't write him off yet.

Eberle for Larsson and a 2nd
- shvingter88

Not enough value and makes us worse

Eberle would only be moved for a 2C or a big scoring winger or legitimate top 2 dman (likely something added to eberle). Larsson, right now, is not a top pairing guy.

I don't think there's a player on the devils I'd move eberle for right now.

Gagner + 2nd rounder + klefbom/Marincin far zajac + 30th overall I'd definitely entertain

- Optimist34

Yeah you could be right.

Honestly think gagner would play well with bigger physical wingers. For instance clowe or matteau

That's a deal I could get behind. Gernat is huge and has solid potential. The 2nd rounder could be anywhere from 35th to 50th overall so it's a wildcard piece. It would be a deal that would make me think hard about things if I was Lou and that was on the table.

Let's be realistic. Lou does not care what any other gm feels Larsson I'd worth he isn't going to move a guy with that much potential and that high of a pick for anything less then top value. The kid is 21 and they slowed down his development but that doesn't mean they think he won't turn out they just think he might need a different path then they first thought. Why the hell would anyone want to give up a top four pick for a small center who is soft and scores most of his points in one stretch of games then disappears. At the very least we would want something with similar potential back. Gagner does 0 for me guy has been in then league 6 years and has never blown anyone away along with the rest of the oilers picks taken around that time like the coglianos. henrique will almost certainly be better next year so there is 0 need

I would do gagner for Ryder, that's about it.

Yea let me be clear there is no need to move Larsson for a package that centers around gagner. There is just NP reason to give up a top defense prospect just for the sake of making a trade nothing will happen if we don't move Larsson and let him continue his devlopement. The only reason you trade a player of that caliber or potential is if they are a problem in or out of the room which he isn't or if you are getting something significant in return and I don't think we need another second round pick bad enough to move Larsson for gagner and a second even if it meant getting rid of Ryder

Edmonton wants to get rid of gagner pretty badly so he could probably be had for JJ and a 4th

I would keep Carter and maybe Gio. Gio because he can play on PK and is a RH shot.

Gagner sucks.

When you have players you don't want, you can't trade them for gold. That's not how it works.
