I think a lot of the GM's around the league know what Taylor Hall is. He can generate some offensive, he has great speed, a good shot, isn't interested in defensive game in the least, and isn't the sharpest knife in the drawer. He also tends to revert to a junior game when things aren't going well (ie: trying to beat 4 players) and gives up turnovers as a result. He's not "the man" ... he's just a piece who thinks he's the man. If I was a GM I probably wouldn't pay near what the Oilers think he's worth for Taylor Hall.

Nugent-Hopkins, on the other hand, would have incredible value. I'd pay a hell of a lot more for a guy like that than a guy like Hall. Dumb wingers don't win you championships.
