Perron was like 32% in the dot last year. If Hall works at C, future could look like:

Yak-Hall-Eberle
Perron-RNH-Gagner

Everyone is making a big deal about how good Hall was in the circle last night... It was the pre-season... And who was his competition?

This is a valid point. See what it is at the end of preseason.

I mean..wasn't over a lot of FOs, but still likely the only above-50% guy in the top 6

If Hall excels at C, they should leave him there. Hall-RNH'd be a great great 1-2 punch down the middle

Hate to say it but if hall sticks at C and excels, I would think about trading gags.

if you deal Gags then you move hemmer back into the top 6. Not a horrible idea, but I like 3 scoring lines. Just move him to RW

Ether way, just saying that he has some value. Could package him for a bigger skilled top 6 or a pretty darn good D man.

And he will have to change his game considerably in order to play center... When you're the best LW in the game, you shouldn't have to alter your game to fill a hole... I don't want to lose what Hall brings to the LW, and I don't want for him to (frank) up his style for what could be 1-4 weeks of play. Eberle is a smarter player, and his style is much better suited for center...

Trading Gagner to move Hemsky into our top 6 would be a horrible idea. Hemsky is made of talc. I'd take Gagner over Hemsky any day of the week.

This I do agree with and am quite surprised it hasn't been kicked around yet.

Well that's a different story... Yeah, it all depends on what's coming back.

Exactly. Like I said I wouldn't like it, but it opens up options. Have to imagine gags has far greater value than hemmer.

Hall should take most RNH faceoffs till RNH can win them

His face off % will improve as he gains upper body strength.

I still enjoy how hemsky looks like some just ran over his dog in interviews.

What do you figure the odds are he dosnt get traded and resigns?

So is Savage. Any other dead wrestlers someone can tastefully superimpose Fatty RC's head on?

The ironic part of all of you hating on RC is that you'll still go to his new website when it starts up and read his blogs, and you know you will, you're just a bunch of tough guys talking trash about someone because his style of blog writing was about getting people talking no matter how ridiculous it was, and he knew that.

You will read his blogs and visit his new website, especially since this Ryan guy doesn't write blogs very often, even after the split games for the preseason opener.

Nope. I haven't read any of his poop except the one where he slammed Ryan. It was horrible, he really sounded like an arrogant wiener. So no, I won't, he sucks.

Not sure, but I'm eating the most delicious Sloppy Joe I have ever had (I mean the food, not a guy named Joe).

Warrior isn't dead. He's doing speaking tours for the Republican Party last I heard. Also did a WWE commercial for a new Video game.
