It's a joke hall isn't in the team.
But guys like Tavares and seguin who are not better players in any facet other than media hype get deep throated.
but he plays on the oilers.

And that's not even mentioning that he's undoubtedly the superior player to carter, duchene and Marchand

Bright side is there's no injury risk. But he deserves to be on the team

SJ Pens final I win.

Blues Tampa final you win.

Different combo and it's a wash.

Loser changes team and avi to Flames until the draft.

No, they're not

What makes seguin better?

Hall is absolutely comparable to Tavares and seguin. Beyond any doubt

Career ppg ?

All extremely comparable

Marchand should have not even been named before Hall.
Unbelievable, just unbelievable.

I was going to say the opposite. Seguin for sure has more firepower, but Tavares and Hall are extremely comparable.

They play a different game.

Seguin is more cerebral. Purer goal scorer too.

hall is the superior skater and drives possession. Tempted to say the better pure passer too.

Well with JT, he doesn't play with NO ONE and has almost won the scoring title 2x and brought the isles to PO's...
Hall has played with much much better talent and that's not even a debate...

Hall>Seguin>Tavares.

Not doubt about that.
Tavares is a great captain and an amazing player, but he can be highly overrated at times, especially when people compare him to the lieks of Stamkos.

They don't really play an entirely different game.
Hall as you said is a possesion driver, better skater, and HAS a BETTER first pass.
Seguin is the better sniper.

I don't agree

I absolutely think you're playing the homer card .
Extremely comparable players. For the oilers, I actually like halls physical ability kamikaze game much more

Pure points - Tavares gets the edge . But it's far from a huge edge

The two have very little in common except for being drafted together

In other words, Hall is better.

Tavares has been quite overrated in my books, but nonetheless, he still is a fantastic player.

Only difference being Messier finished 2nd All-Time in NHL scoring...
- Matt_Henderson

How many years did Mess play?Around 25, no doubt he was a better scorer than Toews but he also played when games were much higher scoring. Very comparable players though when it comes to leadership , determination etc. Messier=hall of famer and Toews will be joining him when he is done.

No, they wouldn't

Even more so with Connor and Leon now.
But regardless they still don't.

Why do they make the trade? What makes seguin so much better?
Other than media hype I mean

Halls skillset and style are much more conducive to the oilers needs.
These aren't slights on seguin or JT either
