They don't trade Byram for Hall, you can bet your house on it... Look at the Mark Stone trade from last year. Not that much value, not even a 1st round pick...(there is but in "a prospect")
Often injured Hall = not that big value even if he is elite...
In my book:Stone > Hall valuewise
So anyways, what was it 2nd round + good'ish prospect? So it's a 1st round + 2nd in a conversion... There is not even a Jost there(another goodish prospect)...
It's so simple, there will be a bidding war for Hall: Colorado won't bid with Byram...they bid with other assets... it's that simple, if there is some team who gives up for Hall insane value... then Avs out... not like... oh they give for Hall a good prospect like for example Edm bid with Broberg? Then AVS give up Byram in 10 minutes...anymore bidders? DEAL HALL for Byram... LUL...
So they might end up bidding with Kaut + 1st round pick for example... Or 1st round pick + conditional 1st round pick + conditional 2nd round pick (Avs make it to cup finals/ hall resigns).
BUT they will
NEVER EVER INCLUDE BYRAMin the trade. It's really simple... If they ever include Byram in the trade it's for Hall + other players/assets since Byram value > Hall by a large margin.
So anyways, Hall got traded for Larsson, when he already turned out to be a bust... Is Byram a bust for you right now? I'm not sure why Edmonton did it.... but they had their reasons for sure... that was the trade: Hall for Larsson you can look it up. Current season Larson = 0 points = great value right?
No it was not Hall for Hedman, it was Hall for Larsson. -28 last year - 0 points this year, that guy. Hall is not that much valueable... But even if he is... No GM that dumb to trade Byram for Hall... The value is really far off...
