Why Detroit should sign Taylor Hall

Created by: Gordon_Bombay
Team: 2020-21 Detroit Red Wings
Initial Creation Date: Aug. 29, 2020
Published: Aug. 29, 2020
Salary Cap Mode: Basic
Description
Detroit has a fair shot at becoming the 2010-2016 Edmonton Oilers.

Taylor Hall's track record in the last 10 years:
2011 Draft lottery winner
2012 Draft lottery winner
2015 Draft lottery winner
2017 Draft lottery winner
2019 Draft lottery winner

You can say he is not worth 12 million a year, but if he wins you 3-4 draft lotteries in those years, it is worth 12 million at least.

I mean you had bad lottery luck this year. Not gonna lie. I don't like the Redwings but was sad for them not winning the lottery. I mean they were really bad this year and were not even trying to be bad.

It’s not the end of the world. Besides, we’ll still have the top lottery odds for at least a couple more years

I agree I'm over it as well but what makes it funny is Detroit has lost ground in every lottery draft they have been in.

DET deserved to win lottery this year

But if they take Aatu Raty #1 overall, I am not sure they will deserve it next year. Gonna be d-man at #1.

How am I just realizing Detroit has 22 million in cap space even after hypothetically signing Hall to 12 mill.

Detroit should be taking on every bad contract in the league they can and just end up with 50 draft picks in the next 3 drafts

Doesn’t have to be hall sign anyone to a 12 million dollar deal with the current state of the team and your a front runner for the next 5 years for that first pick.

Probably the most logical Taylor Hall signing with impeccable logic backing it up. Fine analysis Gordon.
