After reading 1,475,942 blogs that began “Should the Oilers trade Taylor Hall for,” how come the name Adam Larsson wasn’t mentioned in any of them?

After 10 straight seasons out of the playoffs, Edmonton hockey fans probably feel like lining up like a herd of buffalo ready to jump off the cliffs of the North Saskatchewan River and smash their heads in.

Taylor Hall represents the first skate to drop.

The game is still afoot.

The day before, left winger Milan Lucic and defenceman Jason Demers both visited the out-of-this-world Rogers Place Arena that Taylor Hall now won’t play in but once a year — Jan. 12 this coming season.

If both sign as free agents, that would mean the Oilers will go into next season adding Lucic, Larsson, Demers and Jesse Puljujarvi, while subtracting Hall.
