Thread: What i would move for hall
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>ArakinSkywalker</b></div><div>I think the hart trophy in the last 2 years increases his value more than stone as well. Hall has never really been on a winning team, always kind of the best player on a bad team. It would be exciting to see what he could do on a team with a bit more depth. Burky and Donny have excelled here, so who knows what hall could do.</div></div>

I think a lot of people are down on him because his goal numbers and point total are both low this year (although first on the team in points). The Devils were playing a terrible style under Hynes and it led to them playing low event hockey. If Hall were go to a team like Colorado and get to play with mackinnon potentially, he could really pop off. Just getting him into a team with a style that fits his talents would be great too.

Thread: Hall Trade with Calgary
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>TheEdgiestOfNames</b></div><div>While I think you got the values right, I'm just not sure the Flames agree to deal Valimaki (whose ceiling is very high). Giordano isn't getting any younger and they need a future cornerstone on defence. How would you feel if instead of Valimaki, Calgary offered some combo of Kylington, Dube, Jankowski, and various picks?</div></div>

I picked Calgary for this trade because of how desperate they may be to win and win with this core of players. Gio and Hanifin as your 1/2 LHD for at least the next few years is very good so they may feel the pressure and move a very valuable young piece at this point. I think the Devils want a high quality prospect rather than a quantity of solid or decent prospects.

Thread: Hall to STL
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>A_K</b></div><div>I don't like the idea of taking from the NHL roster to add a rental - it's a little counterintuitive. And if Hall walks this trade looks really bad unless there's another banner hanging...

I'd rather try something around a prospect like Kyrou or Kostin and picks unless there is some way to guarantee a Hall extension (probably unlikely, especially when Pietrangelo is looking for that money).</div></div>

I get that for sure, but I feel like the Blues are in a spot where this could benefit them in a few ways. The team is in the middle of a run here after winning last year, so that window is open and you want to win now more than keep a young asset long term. With Tarasenko down for a long time, they may be desperate to add something significant to the top 6. Pietrangelo is due for a raise and Im not sure there is a good amount of money to pay Dunn next year, although I guess a Lebanc type situation could happen. This move also frees a lot of money for this year and next because of Allen and there will be rental goalies out there for stable backups. Along with Hall being a rental type asset that hasnt been available yet, Stone being the closest thing to it, but Hall has the MVP season and a bit more of an offensive ceiling. Also if this is a deal that gets done sooner rather than later, you would get over half a season of Hall, which is worth more than lets say 25 or so games and then playoffs.

Thread: Possible Move Second Half
<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>bsilk18</b></div><div>On the other half of this post I was told I’m overpaying, so honestly I’m gonna have to leave this as it is likely even.
To answer your question though, it is just the reverse of the 1-for-1, but has Jesse (who is probably worth a high 2nd to really low 1st), and two draft picks... it is a good trade for the devils who get their guy back and two decent picks as well as a good prospect (as a rental).... and if he resigns, it becomes another first rounder which makes it essentially two firsts and a good prospect to reverse the trade which is a good deal for both teams</div></div>

I dont think Jesse is worth near a 1st right now. The Devils have PK, Severson and Vatanen so i dont see the need for Larsson without any of those guys leaving in a trade or Sami getting traded as a deadline move (very possible in a we are trading Taylor Hall scenario, probably 100%). I like Larsson, but he has had a tough last year plus here with injuries and some poor play when he wasnt hurt. I would think adding him to any deal wouldnt sweeten it a ton, but would leave Edmonton with a hole since they need all the D they can get. If the Devils trade Hall its going to be for more of a sure thing than Puljujarvi and Larsson coming off a broken leg and a bad year.
