fun fact: the last time the Devils traded a player and got back a 1st round pick in return was Tom Kurvers. That was in 1991(!!!!) The Devils picked Scott Niedermayer with that pick.
Arizona still ain't shit even with Hall. Having one or two guys who can actually score won't get you the cup.
I don't think I want him to go to Arizona because I don't see him re-signing there. Which would hurt whatever conditional pick we may get.
That’s true! but they need finishers and Kessel is having a down year. Does Hall move the needle? Sure, but to the extent they need to be a real threat? Idk
they would have to dump major salary as they currently have the highest payroll I'll take Dvorak, Soderstrom, and a 1st
Trocheck and Spencer Knight seems like a lot for a guy who would probably walk next summer. I think they already have Dadonov and Hoffman as UFA. But that would be a score for NJ
I will say this- Hall is still a very good player but he doesn't look anywhere near as dominant as he did the past 2 years I Think the injury might have slowed him down a bit. I'm not sure I would commit 7-8 years to him at big $$$
Officiating in Sabres-Islanders has been very bad so I decided to look up the officials on NHLOA and well.... How bad at your job do you have to be to have 850 NHL games as a ref and only 5 playoff games?
