That explanation sounds familiar... now where have I heard that before...

huh? which part?

“ Given Hall's bad year at 5 on 5, the Leafs could get him for cheap for one year and he could put up big numbers on a line with Matthews and Marner”

Swap leafs for sabres, cheap for 8m and Matthews and marner for Eichel and Reinhart.

Also, how’s his face? Did he return?

Didn't know about his injury. Matthews and Marner are light years ahead of Eichel and Reinhart, its not even close, no disrespect to Eichel. Hall did have a really good season last year (52 points in 65 games), certainly not worth 8 million, so he's definately not getting that this coming offseason. I think my number is fair and its a one year deal like I said (given that he's healthy enough to play).

It’s probably more than fair but I just don’t think it’s a good idea.

Eichel and reinhart holding hall down? Those are two if the best line mates you could ask for. Maybe not the best in the league but right up there.
