The idea of signing him was good, don't get me wrong. The result was terrible, and it went downward, fast.
He manhandled Adams to do exactly what he wanted. It's not a good position for a GM to be in where a player can completely dictate what's going to happen with him - especially after his performance have been far from what he got paid for.
Adams' rep got a hit by trading a former MVP and a "star signing" for a lesser package than a f*cking Sam Bennett got.
The epic failure this season has been is the greatest PR loss, after "bolstering" the team during the offseason. And moving Hall for a terrible price is the icing on the cake, so to speak.
You can go and disagree with me all you like. I personally think this whole episode of signing Hall to Buffalo was a complete failure, and it netted nothing but a 2nd round pick and a bottom-6 winger for them.

So you're just throwing all context out of the window?
> He manhandled Adams to do exactly what he wanted. It's not a good position for a GM to be in where a player can completely dictate what's going to happen with him - especially after his performance have been far from what he got paid for.
It's a NMC. Its whole purpose is to give protection to the player. Every team usually has 1 or 2 players with one. Is every GM in the league getting manhandled by their players because they give out a NMC?
> And moving Hall for a terrible price is the icing on the cake, so to speak.
It's what the market dictated. It's not a terrible price because he was playing terrible. If Hall was at a PPG pace and had 15+ goals then it was a terrible price. Fans might've been hoping for more, but under the circumstances of his play + the NMC it wasn't gonna happen.

I'm not disagreeing that the signing turned out to be a failure. I'm disagreeing that you think he was worth more and that they shouldn't have signed him in the first place.
