Hall is not getting traded. he's the second best LW in the game behind Jamie Benn. If he gets traded your not doing it for a 4-5 D like tanev, a career underachiever in Markstrom and a rookie (with great promise) in virtanen.

In my mind as Armchair GM i wouldnt trade hall ever. EVER lol. HALL/MCDAVID/DRAI/NURSE. the rest can be sold to the highest bidder...

I wasn't actually thinking that would get it done....just a response the the offer put by the Canucks fan ....I don't know if I'd agree with your theory Hall is the second best LW in the game ...he is one of the top offensive LW but there is more to hockey than just putting up points

DDM - sorry I haven't spoken to you lately, I've been out of the country the last year on police business wondering why so many refugees are entering Canada when we can't even look after the people we already have living here.

What Eva, he's still an elite offensive weapon . Haters are going to downplay what he brings to the table no matter if he's 4th in scoring or 44th...He's an elite LW.

You gotta give it to the oilers. Being poop consistently is one thing, but being dead last for a decade is just crazy.

Actually, We've only been dead last at season end twice . 2010 and 2011.

Benn
Hall
Ovechkin

I don't see him enough...he seems to have elevated his production last couple years, without checking stats. He never seemed all that physical to me.

Trade the pick
- nanook82


I agree. A good starting point. Only issue is, what will the pick be? You'll likely see an uptick in winning when McDavid gets back. This could move them up a few spots which makes trading something substantial from another team risky. I do believe RNH and Eberle seem the most likely based on all reports. If you couple the pick with one of them, it increases the return incrementally. Bottom line is; the waiting has to be over. And I read one person that said to in essence tank again so they could possibly get another number 1 pick. Seriously.

He's very good but he's not Elite. If he continues with "consistency" then I would probably put him in that category but he's been inconsistent over his career so "elite" isn't the right wording - yet.

His injuries have slowed him down in past seasons as well.

Well it was good for PC to wait just long enough for the rest of the GM's to think...." Hmmmm....maybe Eberle and RNH are not that good after all?"

His injuries are the only thing that has slowed him down.....are you retarded? When hasn't Hall scored at an elite level clip?
- Jeropotato


No, I'm not retarded like our Prime Minister is.

And Hall has not been consistent enough since he entered the league to be considered an "elite" player. Last year was proof when there was a lot of talk about him being possibly moved.
