yes, I would totally do this...you're going to somehow acquire Jonathan Toews and include him in the deal too, right?
(give your head a shake).

well if we're getting Toews as well we'll need to throw in a 3rd round pick.

Hall for Carey Price??

There's no way Montreal would ever think about that.
- The-O-G

Probably not, depends how good they think Tokarski is

- Fountain-San

Yes it is bc Sutter is a 3rd line player or at best a 3C for not 1 top line player, the rest are not proven.
- Ur Not Me

Yeah Sutter isn't that great and would need to be upgraded. But Pouliot is off the charts

again... he is Edmonton's best player. if Edmonton was looking at a trade with Toronto, it would be names like Rielly and JVR. not to mention that first rounder is more than 18,000 years into the future.

No man, no.

That's not that bad.....
- The-O-G

That's a goddamn catastrophe if you're Pittsburgh,

Id look at the James Neal trade for a comparison as to what the Oilers could expect to get for Hall(which isn't good enough to make it worth their while) Regardless of what people think about his on ice antics, James Neal is an elite goal scorer. He fetched a good winger and a middling to below average winger. A bad, bad return for a guy that is a sniper like Hall through and through. I think one issue is that wingers are the least difficult position to replace in the NHL. Elite Centers and top dmen are players rarely any team trades. An elite center can make even an average winger very good. Hall in all likelihood will not pull in an established top pairing dman. He probably wont pull in a very good second line center either, at least from a team that has a shot of winning the cup. In which case it's better for the Oilers to just hang on to him. He's still very young and they have decent prospects that could start a turn around in a couple of years.

Think about what you're saying for just a moment...Taylor Hall = James Neal. Now, imagine if the Pens made that deal. When will people stop these lopsided, idiotic trade proposals on this website?

I tried making that trade on NHL 15 be a GM as the stars. Wouldn't let me. The only thing it came back with was "you are not even close to the value of what you are requesting". Good thing games are based on real life.


Seguin liked to drink, well apparently The B's GM likes to drink too.......when he sends trade proposals.

The kid was young w/stud potential (as we are seeing now) really thought BOS should have traded Krejci instead to make room.... Terrible move
Youth will always prevail if proven.....

But that wasn't what you said at all.. you said that Neal brought back a bad return, which actually isn't true at all... he actually brought back a great return. Comparing Horny putting up 30 in NSH to Neal putting up 40 in PIT is a terrible comparison. Who was his center when he put up 30? Craig Smith? Mike Fisher? Sorry, no disrespect to them, they are good hockey players, but they're no Evgeni Malkin...
- j.boyd919[/quot

Hornquist hit 30 once, and he's not going to hit that mark this year with Crosby or malkin. I like Hornquist but he's not the same caliber as Neal. As I said, I think Neal is an elite scorer. Hornquist is decently good but it wasn't even. Spal is decent but the two for Neal was undervalue. My opinion only. But as I have been saying all along, the Oilers would need a massive Haul in return for trading their best player. I just dont see them getting enough to make it worth their while.

well if we're getting Toews as well we'll need to throw in a 3rd round pick.
- Fountain-San

and then I'd still say no based on your initial offer..."nah, you annoyed me with the first one"...click

Why dont you read the actual comment then get back to me... There was no trade proposal mentioned in there.

some really, really stupid trades have been coming out of the NE in the last 4-5 years.

no way. he got it done in the playoffs. that's what counts. not saying the seguin deal got us great return but given the way he acted, expecially during the playoffs, he booked his own ticket out of town. justin beiber on skates.

When did NHL hockey become something that can only be truly understood by looking at spreadsheets?

Anyway the question is moot because we have as exact a comparable as we could possibly get for what Hall would likely yield in a deal, and that is what the Bruins got for Seguin.
- Snowblind

Even that deal isn't a great comparable because they were trading Seguin more on potential, Seguin today would fetch more than what the Seguin Boston traded.

Mixed emotions on this post. I totally agree, but it makes me sad.

There's no way Montreal would ever think about that.

Montreal would definitely think about it.

It would provide endless hours of uproarious laughter.

Ya man....I get it. But they aren't going to get Weber or Doughty for Hall. It's also why Pouliot isn't the only guy in the offer. Quit stating the obvious.

yeah but everyone here commenting on that trade is enjoying 20/20 hindsight. At the time, that return was actually not bad. Eriksson was a very underrated winger and Seguin had not yet reached his stride at all and was thought to have a pretty serious attitude problem.
