This is how it most likely went down

Adams had offers he would accept from a few teams

Took those teams to Hall and said where would you waive to go?

It has been reported for at least a week Hall wasn't getting you much

Some reports said he was only getting a 3rd for him

The dude had 2 goals
- Stripes77

That’s a terrible approach then, come on.

You approach Hall with your best offer and only your best offer.

ESPECIALLY when it’s not even the day of the deadline yet

Adams to boston : We have better offers on the Table

Boston : C'Mon

Adams: No really, we do here they are.

Boston: C'mon

Adams: okay you win. plus give me a worse 4th liner at double the salary.


We are in more trouble than I thought.
- ImThatGuy

HE HAD 2 GOALS

That’s a terrible approach then, come on.

You approach Hall with your best offer and only your best offer.

- sbroads24

And if Adams did and he said he wouldn't waive then what?

Hall wanted to be a Bruin

Period

You need to let this one go

You're really reaching for this one. So now it's "different eras".

K. 😂
- Powerslave

not really

you claimed maruk to be a superstar in his first 6 years


his best season that year, puts him where Travis Konecny was last year in the points leader for the nhl

he has been great 1 year


last year




you guys set the bar lower and lower for him
- homiedclown

Doesn't Seattle have a team now? They could use some fans over there.

not if getting the return adams got for hall



if jack pouts again in 14 months, expect a hall like return feeling though if they wait til his NMC kicks in
- homiedclown

so it's best to trade him now while he's at his peak?

so it's best to trade him now while he's at his peak?
- Michael Pachla

Best to trade him before his NTC kicks in

And if Adams did and he said he wouldn't waive then what?

Hall wanted to be a Bruin

Period

You need to let this one go
- Stripes77

EIchel wants to be a Ranger only.

Do we settle on that trade to because, "It is what it is"

Ullmark staying.

Both sides have agreed to pick up extension talks after the deadline

not really

- homiedclown

So what do we do oh great one.

What is the process to get to the playoffs?

We need the answers oh great one.

EIchel wants to be a Ranger only.

Do we settle on that trade to because, "It is what it is"
- ImThatGuy

He doesn't have a NTC...yet

Eichel also isn't a pending UFA

Do better

Doesn't Seattle have a team now? They could use some fans over there.
- DirtyDan

just because you bend the knee to kim, doesn't mean I have to

Best to trade him before his NTC kicks in
- Stripes77

so you're saying trade jack

Doesn't Seattle have a team now? They could use some fans over there.
- DirtyDan

And maybe some draft capital to take a certain player.

EIchel wants to be a Ranger only.

Do we settle on that trade to because, "It is what it is"
- ImThatGuy

When he has a NTC, yeah that's actually exactly how that works. So what's your point.

From what I have read (I haven't seen) UPL would be in the Coast if they would have played

He hasn't been good at all
- Stripes77

after seeing very little of UPL, i really question the hype. i dont see him being better than Ullmark. lets hope Portillos is good

so it's best to trade him now while he's at his peak?
- Michael Pachla

I would think the return would be better if 31 teams competed for him, then 2

so you're saying trade jack
- Michael Pachla

I am slowly leaning in that territory

But I am not trading Jack because he isn't a great player, or not carrying the team to the playoffs

I would be trading Jack for the right package only

The Sabres are fine.

They have a great FO, an expericed GM and a head coach with loads of exprice.

That huge scouting staff is goign to come up big.

We should trust that everything they do is the right thing.

They haven't proved us wrong yet.

I cant wait for the future!

after seeing very little of UPL, i really question the hype. i dont see him being better than Ullmark. lets hope Portillos is good
- SabresFaninIndiana

Draft another G with all the picks this year. (frank) draft 2. Should be drafting one every year, even if you have a bonefide number 1

So what do we do oh great one.

What is the process to get to the playoffs?

We need the answers oh great one.
- DirtyDan

do the opposite of what the sabres have done since kim and terry bought the team



the exact opposite

I would think the return would be better if 31 teams competed for him, then 2
- homiedclown

so you're saying they should trade him if the return is at the very least reasonable?

When he has a NTC, yeah that's actually exactly how that works. So what's your point.
- SDSabre

So first , 5th and a B prospect and a cap dump.

Actually why whould NYR give up a first at all.

Give up a 2nd and a cap dump for EIchel.

I mean ITS THE ONLY WAY

That’s a terrible approach then, come on.

You approach Hall with your best offer and only your best offer.

ESPECIALLY when it’s not even the day of the deadline yet
- sbroads24

yeah i agree.. you start with your best offer and ask if he will accept that trade. don't lay them all on the table for him to choose your adventure

And if Adams did and he said he wouldn't waive then what?

Hall wanted to be a Bruin

Period

You need to let this one go
- Stripes77

Then I guess Boston got totally fleeced because they really didn’t even have to give us a single thing. Hall was only going to Boston (this is totally untrue)


Hall has gone to Arizona, NJ, and Buffalo but really put his foot down this time for Boston. I doubt it
