Always makes me smile when people use the term “lucky” … if I was more lucky I would have made the NHL. Hall has great Cf% ff% xgf% but he’s paid to produce and he hasn’t.

That makes more sense. They desperately need a reliable 2c

That's what is called being unlucky. Anything can happen in the NHL and the last team in the league can shutout the #1 team in a game.

If you look at the past 10 years, Most teams are below 10% and only TOR is above what WSH is doing right now and that was a 48-game season.
21-22: WSH 10.59% (26 games)
20-21: MIN 10.38% (Shortened season)
19-20: TBL 9.71% (Shortened)
18-19: WSH 10.09%
17-18: TBL 9.36%
16-17: MIN 9.20%
15-16: NYR 9.01%
14-15: TBL 9.10%
13-14: ANA 9.79%
12-13: TOR 10.67% (Shortened)
11-12: TBL 9.67%
10-11: PHI 8.74%

It's not impossible but unlikely. We'll see. Also, about the "if I was more lucky I would have made the NHL". Maybe but you need both luck and skill for that.

I got neither. Most importantly I’m lazy. Lol. Unlucky just feels better

Ok, so if the Bruins decided to sell off parts and start over I think they’d be looking younger - can’t see McMichael being moved but maybe something around LaPierre?

In their current state a trade doesn’t make much sense. Mantha and Eller are not really upgrades - we can go into the numbers this year, etc. but you are the one that wanted to trade for Hall, if he’s “not that good” then why trade for him? Yes, Hall hasn’t quite found his footing and the numbers show - but I don’t think Mantha would be a world beater either playing with Haula and Coyle.

the fact you are basing your entire argument on strictly this one year is hilarious. Hall's talent is significantly higher than mantha's. Higher ceiling, higher floor.
Over entire career: Hall .86 ppg mantha .64 ppg. not to mention mantha is ridiculously injury prone. hes played through a ton of injuries with detroit and is injured again with washington. Ide rather have hall by a rather large margin. It isnt even close. FWIW ide rather have vrana over mantha.
