You could argue but you would still be wrong on Hall and very, very wrong on RNH being at the same level of Ovechkin, Crosby and Tavares. That's laughable really. Hall is a good player but he's not that good and he will likely never be great as he doesn't have the hockey smarts. Elite players don't continually try and beat multiple defensemen by themselves. They learn how to use their teammates.
