The New Jersey Devils?finally have a legitimate goal scorer, and this one is coming to New Jersey with a chip on his shoulder after a surprising trade.The Devils on Wednesday acquired former No. 1 overall pick Taylor Hall in a trade with the Edmonton Oilers.?In exchange for Hall, the Devils sent defenseman Adam Larsson to the Oilers.An emotional Hall admitted the move caught him off guard after dealing with six losing seasons in Edmonton.Its tough, he said in a conference call. I have a pretty deep connection to the city of Edmonton. I felt I did everything I could there, so its pretty hard not to feel slighted, not to feel a little disappointed with the way everything shook out. Thats hockey.Hall said he felt that the trade focused the blame on him for the Oilers losing seasons. He said he expressed his disappointment to Oilers general manager Peter Chiarelli after being informed of the trade.I dont want to sound like I am not excited to join New Jersey, Hall said. Thats not the case. Im a proud person, and I take this as an indictment of me as a hockey player. I dont think there is any other way to treat it. I think its safe to say I am a very motivated player right now.Chiarelli made it no secret recently that he was in the market for a top defenseman. He was willing to deal Hall, 24, in order to land a much-needed blueliner.At a news conference in Edmonton, Chiarelli said the Oilers have been looking for a top-notch defenseman for months and getting Larsson, 23, required paying a price.He moves the puck, he defends well, he can log a lot of minutes -- he can play 25, 27, 28 minutes, Chiarelli said. He can match up against all of the other top forwards, he has more skill to show also.Its unfortunate in these deals, this is what you have to do, but I felt it was a player that Ive watched very closely this year, and I can see his game trending up and it was time to act on it.The trade also gives the Oilers salary-cap space to possibly sign free agent Milan Lucic. Hall was making an average of $6 million annually. The Devils, who have missed the playoffs the past four seasons, have not had a top-notch goal scorer Zach Parise was lost to free agency in 2012 and Ilya Kovalchuk retired and returned to Russia the following season.Hall spent his entire six-year career with the Oilers, getting 132 goals and 196 assists in 381 games. He has led Edmonton in scoring for three of the past four seasons, and has finished in the top three on the squad in each of his six seasons. This past season, he had 26 goals and 39 assists. He represented the Oilers at the All-Star Game.Im an offensive-minded player, Hall said. There is no doubt. I love having the puck on my stick and having the puck in the offensive zone.Hall believes his best years are ahead of him, and that playing with a team that demands responsibility on both ends of the ice will help his game.He plays the game fast, Devils general manager Ray Shero said. He adds a lot to our group. He really changes the dynamic of our team and how we are going to play.Larsson had three goals and 15 assists, playing in all 82 games on the Devils top defensive pairing. The Swede has nine goals and 60 assists in 274 games.Shero said that trading Larsson leaves a hole in the Devils defense. Vojtech Mozik, Seth Helgeson and Steven Santini are among the young defensemen in the organization that might have a chance at making the NHL roster next season.Shero expects the Devils to sign defenseman Jon Merrill and forwards Beau Bennett and Devante Smith-Pelley, who did not get qualifying offers earlier this week.The Associated Press contributed to this report.

In the wee hours of Saturday, August 4, 2012, Vikas Krishan woke up to some disconcerting news. The decision of his Olympic welterweight pre-quarterfinal bout against USAs Errol Spence five hours ago had been overturned. Now, instead of hopes of a medal he was left with the crushing burden of a defeat, whose validity he did not entirely believe in. For a 20-year-old making his maiden Olympic appearance, this was too crude a shock to stomach, leaving him disappointed, disillusioned and on the brink of giving up the sport.Four years down the line, Vikas, bruise marks contouring his face, has metamorphosed into a man of steel. Qualifying for the Rio Games after advancing to the semifinals of the AIBA World Olympic qualification event in Baku, Azerbaijan last month, the boxer from Bhiwani wants to leave little to chance this time around. Hes a boxer with a vision, notes Commonwealth Games 2006 gold medalist Akhil Kumar, If he sets himself a target, he gives it everything that he possibly can. Also one of the most wonderful traits that Ive noticed in him is that hes self-motivated.Expectations leading up the London Games were staggering. Understandably so, given he was coming off some great results - gold at the Guangzhou Asian Games in 2010 and a bronze at the World Championships the following year. The failure at London left him devastated. A years hiatus from the sport following the setback offered him both the time and the perspective to return to the ring with renewed zest.Terming Vikas a sharp and intelligent boxer, national coach GS Sandhu says with experience, hes grown wiser in strategies and stronger in mind. He showed potential right from his junior years. He plans well, boxes with his mind and has power punches and good counter movements.Competing in the same category (75 kg) as that of Indias pin-up boxing star Vijender Singh, parallels were almost inevitable. Interestingly, according to inssiders, prior to turning pro, Vijender had, on more than one occasion avoided a bout against Vikas.ddddddddddddMaking his AIBA pro-boxing debut in New Delhi last month, Vikas, who has hinted of Rio being his final Olympic appearance, hammered Kenyas Nickson Abaka 3-0, possibly a tell-tale sign of him too taking the pro route in the near future.With Rio being the second Olympic appearance for all three male Indian boxers whove qualified this time - Shiva Thapa, Manoj Kumar and Vikas - hopes arent misplaced. A scientific boxer with a lot of confidence in his abilities, its now largely a question of how the draw works out for Vikas at the Olympics.Describing him as a great medal prospect, 1994 World Championship bronze medalist V Devarajan, feels the Rio-bound boxers counterattacking style is winning. Sometimes, in case of even the best boxers, when your instinct is to attack first, there are good chances of making an error in judgement. Vikas though waits for his opponent to make the first move. Though I feel he could do a lot better in the close range which would in turn improve his speed and power combination, he says.With the boxing federation in disarray and no nationals being conducted or exposure trips provided for, JSW Sport stepped in two years ago, cushioning the blow on Vikas. Making provision for stints in England and USA, so he could spar with international partners and train with the best, theyve stood behind him firmly. His promise, CEO Mustafa Ghouse says, was never in doubt. Hes very clear about what he wants and can be extremely stubborn about it, he says, The London incident robbed him of his inclination to compete but then something within him snapped, he probably felt there was unfinished business. He probably knew that his moment of reckoning was due.?
