I find it near impossible to imagine Bobby Clarke or Paul Holmgren presiding as general manager of the Philadelphia Flyers and not getting in on this action. The league about lost it’s mind today, making blockbuster trades.
First, Taylor Hall was traded to New Jersey. I say traded to New Jersey, because it’s not clear the Edmonton Oilers paid enough attention to the trade return for one of the best left wings in the league. (They got Adam Larsson in return, for those keeping score at home.)
As many fans reacted to what appears to be the most lopsided trade in memory, less than a hour passed before another shocker went down.
