It likley came down to them thinking Hall was was the BPA. Rewind back to 2010 with Hall's 2 memorial cup MVPs, and it would be a hard choice. Hindsight is obviously 20/20. They also had Gagner (whose shine had yet to wear off) at the time which complicated it further.
If I'm being totally honest, if I had the 1 OA in 2010, I would've picked Hall too. Today I would pick Seguin 10/10 times. A lot can happen in 5-6 years.
