Idk why, but I have a feeling its St. Louis.

They have a deep prospect pool and Defence is their strength right now. They aren't paying a ton for their top guys to they can re-sign him this off-season too

It just makes so much sense

See I can tell ou he'll wind up in NJ. Isn't it obvious. Zacha signed in the KHL, Shero ripped him and said he doesnt care. Zacha signs.

Ray sat Hall and leaked trade rumors to show Hall he's serious. The team played easily their best 2 games of the season without him. You can say a lot and speculate about his play this season, but I do believe he cares and I do believe he does not want to be scratched. So my theory is, all of a suddent the market is drying up. Is it? or did ray price himself out so that he can keep hall and motivate him by basically saying we are getting a return so if you like your teammates and playing with jack and nico, we are getting better. But also we traded larsson for you, and noone will give us their top prospect for you.

He draws back in wed, the team gets a coveted two win streak. The mojo gets flowing, we win 5 before the new year. We finish the season 34-12-4 for the remaining 50. Resign hall mid season, 8x9 because ray showed him crosby and mackinnon. make playoffs. Fans stop ripping the team. All is right.

Boom.

hes going nowhere unless NJD lets other teams negotiate an extension and/or lower their asking price

This is some 4-D underwater backgammon if I've ever seen it.

This is all i have left lol

part of rays game. Lock him in for conn smythe

I think you have your trophies confused if youre suggesting Shero will win GM of the year. and I doubt anyone will bite with his asking price for a pure rental

no no no. hall wins conn smythe cause he resigns due to the aforementioned mind games courtesy of senor ray lol

As far as where, I am not sure. I think he will get traded early-mid February. I don’t think it’ll be one of those moves on the TDL day.

ohhh i see

Edit: My post is know dead bc hes getting traded now haha
