I have very hard time seeing Hall signing with Buffalo. He's basically wasted his whole career thus far in the weakest teams there is, why would he join one of those for the rest of it?

Skinner + Hall for that much $ seems like a great plan.

Ryan Johnson just might be the one exception to my constant refrain that Anaheim won't trade Kase without getting a RhD back. Someone else's first-round pick and a local boy at that?

I can see us doing this and then trading Jacob Larsson for a similar RhD. But leave C. J. Smith out of this. He's just another mouth to feed.

Not with that roster, Defense is completely gutted and goalies are still mediocre. Third line has 2 busts who will kill Olofsson 's production, theirs no reason to split him off the top line at all, especially after getting a 2C

I'm super super low on Ryan Johnson lol, the only thing that I like about him is he's a local kid lol, he looked good, fast, really solid defensively last year, but he's been burned a lot in college this yr... And he's an LHD

hall is never coming to buffalo when he can pretty much sign where ever he wants

Why would Hall sign with Buffalo for so little? Team has no hope of I'm going to waste the rest of my career I Wana get paid crazy money, or atleast be in a city that I can make money marketing my name ex.(NY, LA, Toronto) Why not join Pittsburgh for Crosby and Malkin last run on a lesser deal try to chase a ring.
