Free agency begins, thoughts on Taylor Hall? I ask because I never wanted him to leave and said sign him at any cost. I now believe that thought "at any cost" is completely flawed. Based on what I see in Arizona he is a very good player at this point of his career, but with the current production and injury risk I would not go more that $8- 9 million.

I'm OK with that. Hopefully we can sign someone worthwhile with that salary cap.

Which is why I want him to go to a team I hate. Nothing against Hall, but would like to see that miserable contract hurt the team that signs him.

Miserable? I don't think so. But Hall needs the right kind of line mates to succeed. We don't have the right players to compliment him but if a team puts it together he is a constant 90 point player.
