guys... i was not involved in that decision
- DoubleDown

don't deflect

Kreider + Hagelin + Skjei + 2016 1st for Taylor Hall
- rangerdanger94

This is a deal I could consider, nice job.....

Lucic (half retained salary), Chara, morrow, spooner and 1st

for

Hall, Petry and Oil 1st



Ludicrous, yes. Would it change the dynamic of both teams. Absolutely
- dothedougie

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

Pretty accurate assessment there. Only thing I could say is Seguin was drafted as a center and projected to be that, and had a stanley cup on his resume when he was traded. Should have yielded a much better return then it did. Florida is intriguing as was mentioned because they have some great pieces. I cant see Florida giving up Bjugstad for Hall though... He's playing lights out and big scoring centers are hard to find.

Agreed.. If Hall publicly asks for a trade.. You need to trade him.. I still think Phaneuf, Kadri, Fredrick Gauthier and a 20154 1st rd pick is enough to get him
- PatC80

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.

Meh, my idea was more for laughs than anything.

Just trying to make up for the terrible seguin trade.
- dothedougie

Trust me, the Seguin trade made me scratch my head.....

But what I'm saying is a return like that would be unacceptable for Hall. It has to be from the Oilers standpoint! Hornquist hit 30 goals once, Neal hit 40. Neal and Hall both have the same number of points right now but Neal has more goals playing with a worse center. Hall is the better player and the only way you trade him is to get a top enter of dman(which they probably wont get) so it makes a lot more sense to hang on to him.
- mnhockeyguy

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...

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.
- DoubleDown

Based on what??? The vaunted eye test?
- mnhockeyguy

Commmon sense and hockey knowledge, just stop. It's horrible comparison, borderline pathetic.

sutter, derek poiliot, 1st rounder, Beau Bennett, christian erhoff get it done!
- ChrisMS

No..... try again......

With even average goaltending Eakins still has a job and the Oilers are in the lower middle of the pack.

The only way I would trade Hall would be for a young but proven true number 1 goalie.


Guys like:
Carey Price
Tuuka Rask ( although he is having a bad year)
Jonathan Bernier ( not yet proven so need more than him)
Pekka Rinne

Does Edmonton have a strong goalie prospect in the system? If so no deal

- PatC80

Good lord, you guys.

I'd say that the offers you people are proposing for Hall are all over the map, but that would imply that some of you can even SEE a map.

No..... try again......
- Ur Not Me

That's not that bad.....

Hall for Carey Price??

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

2013 Garth Snow would
- DDM-Coga

no he wouldn't

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

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.

Not saying Bernier is a Rhodes scholar, but if he can stop the puck I don't care.

- Snowblind

Except at the point Seguin was traded he hadn't achieved what Hall has now achieved...he hadn't proven to be a ppg player yet. But yah i would agree thats probably as close as we can get within recent history.

Hall for Carey Price??

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

not even a little bit.

taylor hall

against

lucic
krug


would you do it
- dede36

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).

that sound bite was priceless. you can't buy that kind of dumb.

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.
