Description

Devs keep investing in the future, acquiring high pick (If not Byram at LD, than Cozens or Dach for RW) ... After fantastic 2019 playoff run, Avs go for it in 2020, adding & resigning Hall to bolster Wing. Painful 2019-2020 in NJ, but the kids get ice time and the loaded 2020 Lottery awaits. Greene, Zajac, Vatanen and Palmieri stay in place to provide veteran leadership. NJ could also offer a home for a cap strapped team willing to trade a 2019 or 2020 draft pick for cap room.

I would not do this if I'm NJ.. yes you're rebuilding and getting young pieces, but you still need those veterans to lead the way, and Hall is a great player to have while doing that. He's an amazing player and I think you need someone like him for these young kids.

Dont disagree, but he wont sign for anything less than 10.5 to 11 x 8 years and to what end for NJ? He will be burnt by the time they turn the corner. I think they lose him as a UFA or Shero trades him at the deadline. I think NJ is in a tough spot with Hall. Avs have the cap room, talent and the draft assets now

Colorados top line is still young, so i think the #4 is more suitable for them

Devils aren't moving Hall prior to the deadline. If he isn't signed then, then yes h will be moved. However, this team is ready to turn the corner with the lotto hit again. Shero already indicated it's about time to spend money.

Need more than one big line for the cup ... Hall's firepower and leadership could get you there, but sure I understand the argument for keeping 4. I suspect Hall's prime is still > than taking a gamble with (even a high) draft pick.
