Don't matter if it was a golf tourney. You play to win regardless, that's your job as an athlete.

Profound.


The game is meaningless.

Halls first crack at center and he takes a penalty and emo-McGee panics.

Relax

I hope this is what he can bring in the regular season.
- abware

it maybe far fetched, but i like to think joensuu has the ability to play top 6 left wing before edm traded for perron. him, mps, and teemu would have provided some good depth on the left wing.

But Clouts said he was "meh".???
- Jeropotato

A shoe in for the Hart then.

And that hall can't play centre
- Oilers42

I think he did all right, took some bad calls, but other than that.

ONe game does not a centre make Wait till at least end of preseason to judge his ability there

Agreed. Hall is an extremely gifted player and might just need time to adjust. I couldn't actually watch enough of the game to judge what he did tonight. I think he could really excel at center, just like he does at LW

Playing agains the worst team in th nhl in a split squad game how many turnovers 3penalties decent at faceoffs though yaks turn to try

Agree, he's defiantly strong enough.

And that hall can't play centre

Yup.

Back to wing. If he plays poorly next game he's pretty much done in the NHL.

I see what you mean, I understand the game was more or less meaningless. But I still say that regardless how meaningful the game is/is not, a team should still play to win from the first minute to the last. That is the point of playing, yes?

banish him to minors forever?

Nope, strait up buy out.

So if he was on LW and took 3 penalties would he suck at LW?
It is one meaningless preseason game.

Yes. What's your point?


Did the Oilers try and lose on purpose?

Nope, strait up buy out.
- HouseArrest187

Yup, couldn't trade his contract without taking back another bad contract.

Nope. Just disappointing to see them fall asleep after a 3 goal lead, even if it was a pre-season game

I'd say hall for Lu, but we would probably have to through in yak and keep both there salary.

That would be sweet.

edm prob will need to look at drafting or trading for a good goalie prospect.

I certainly wouldn't be opposed to it.

Like several of us said a while back, I really think using Hall at center is a waste...

You would???

Haha was supposed to be "wouldn't"
