We don't have the attachment to the player that Oiler fans do and we see him a lot more than other teams fans do as a result of sharing the TV market.
If anything, there should be a propensity here to want to mock this trade, so the fact that there's support for it in any sense is telling.

There is also an anti Hall slant we have as flames fans. We have looked at his flaws for 6 years so while the Oiler fans look through roses colored glasses we are the opposite. Not too many on here thought Hall was a legit superstar but Oiler fans thought of him that way.
I think it is a bad trade on paper but the Oilers needed to get a Dman. I just hope they hate the trade 3 years from now as much as they do today.
