IF he gets that, Sign Reinhart to a four year deal and then trade him immediately.

1,2 and 2 players?

That literally was not said. Adams never said “Hall said he’d only go to Boston”.

I’ll admit I’m totally incorrect if there’s a quote. Maybe I missed it

big floating boy

No its you and "that guy" who are having difficulties reading direct quotes from interviews.
- Mentalorgasm5

You’ve posted 0 direct quotes saying Hall said he’d only go to Boston because as far as I’ve heard and read. Their aren’t any.

I willing to see them though

What has Mantha done to deserve that kind of return?

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

Check twitter ...... Taylor Hall literally said it ....and Adams confirmed it.

So eichel can't keep of the hookers and blow?

Have it on good authority that a good chunk of guys like it. Have a buddy who played in the A when the league was on strike for the Avs affiliate. Would go to parties and Landeskog would just be ripping lines.

The use of blow in the NHL is nothing new.

It was also so known by agents and Adams, and Boston, that Hall ONLY would accept a trade there that a whopping 0 insiders or “sources” had any info on it before or after

Probably because it never happened

With what he just got for Mantha?
Double that for Larkin.

And you haven't once directly stated, "I am stubbornly holding on to what I want too despite several people, including some with direct knowledge of the situation contradicting my presupposition"

But we're all able to infer that is what is happening an it's accurate.

That's how inference works.

It is used in the NHL at a much higher rate than any other sport.

national media been hinting for weeks teams expected to wait until monday and get hall for a 3rd round pick

buffalo media reporting hall was presented with multiple teams and said he wanted boston

(unsourced tweet from a guy on twitter) bob mckenzie says leafs could have had hall but chose foligno instead

hall saying out loud that his NMC helped get him to boston

adams saying its fair to say that boston was the only team he could move to

---

hall is traded for a 2nd to boston

but those two guys on hockeybuzz said we should have gotten a first

Last year seems to be an anomoly.

Hes back to his .6 PPG self this year.

Indeed. Out of the system pretty quick, especially with highly active guys. Just bouncing off of Eichel being a strung out millionaire.

Don't know about the hooker's

I’m fine with inferring that

Except that’s not what’s been said. People have stated Hall and Adams “said he would only go to Boston”

Those quotes don’t exist

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.

The only thing that wasn't said was "I, Taylor Hall, told Kevyn that I will only play for the Boston Bruins."

Not how this stuff goes. But they both said, I wanted to play for Boston. And Kevyn agreed that his NMC made him negotiate with Boston. So, nothing or the return. I assume we won't be moving on for a while.

With what he just got for Mantha?

Why would he trade his young, excellent #1C? He traded a guy that he didn't like and got a lot back for him. It isn't like he has bonus points that accelerate the return in every trade.

It was also so known by agents and Adams, and Boston, that Hall ONLY would accept a trade there that a whopping 0 insiders or “sources” had any info on it before or after

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.
