A Pair of Blockbuster Trades in the NHL
A pair of blockbuster trades in the NHL Wednesday.
EDMONTON – The Edmonton Oilers traded forward Taylor Hall to the New Jersey Devils in exchange for defenceman Adam Larsson.
Hall, the first overall pick in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft, had 26 goals and 39 assists in 82 games last season. In 381 career NHL games with the Oilers, he has 328 points (132-196) and has led the team in scoring in three of the last four seasons.
The six-foot-one 200-pound Calgary native was an all-star last season. Hall, 24, won silver for Canada at the 2010 world junior championship and won gold at the last two world hockey championships.
