Was almost a ppg player last season?

I really don't know to be honest, it was a lot

But the contract and the player must have been something the Caps wanted

- Stripes77
clearly that doesnt matter, since that hurts the narrative of hall should have gotten more.

Hall and Adams openly admitted that they used his NMC to orchestrate a trade to Boston. Denying this is actually hilarious. We got an ok return on an asset that was pretty much Boston or bust. I wonder when we'll move on with this fact.

I am tempted to bring up politics just to get us out of this particular insanity.

I mean some people just doing get it (not at you gcomella)

And at the end of the day, yeah, I'm ticked that's all we got for Hall. But it's not like people are lining up to give us tons of return for him.

I'm also sure that many GM's are trying, and probably succeeding, in getting stuff over on Adams.

Everyone knows the organization doesn't sufficiently support, well anyone right now.

Last year seems to be an anomoly.

Hes back to his .6 PPG self this year.

- ImThatGuy



The year before he was a .71 ppg

then the jump last year to .88 ppg

The wings are bad this year and he doesn't seem to fit in with Blashill

I really can't believe he got that much but the Caps like him and I am sure he will produce more playing on one of those top 2 lines than he did on the Wings

it doesnt even matter if they were lining up. Hall exercised his NMC. People need to move along.

Fwiw, it's probably in the middle of what y'all are arguing. There may have been other teams that Hall would waive to go to, but it sounds as though they were 2nd rounder offers too.

In the end, maybe we had a deal from EDM, TO or any of the other rumored suitors interested, but either way, either Hall wouldn't waive or they offered similar returns.

2 things that didn't happen. Adams didn't trade him to BOS as a favor and nix a trade for a better return to do so. Also, Hall did use his NMC to his advantage to some extent. How much, we'll never know.

Both sides made it seem quite obvious that he used his NMC to his full advantage

Agreed he did

It is what it is. An underwhelming return either way

I think it's hilarious to think he wouldn't have waived for any other team imaginable and would've rather just stayed here. I don't believe that whatsoever.

What Adams and Hall both said are convenient things to say after the trade

We heard a whopping 0 reports of this leading up to or even after the trade from any sources before the press conference and his interview

How many reports did you have of Hall signing in Buffalo in the Offseason? It must have not happened since no one reported it was going to happen.

This may be accurate. It also may be accurate that the 2nd was the best offer on the table, perhaps by a lot. Underwhelming is a good word to describe the whole Hall experience. We all had our 6 to 12 trousers on when he signed, and boy o boy did nothing happen from there.
