Take my list of LW that I posted and I would remove Sharp but if you look at the rest of the players "complete game" vs that of Taylor Hall......I think a majority would agree that they would take all those players over Hall every day of the week.

It just means that Hall provides scoring and very little else and today's NHL is a game where the truly elite players in their positions are the ones who have "complete" games. 200 foot players more or less.

Heck here's my list minus Sharp and Hoffman:

Jamie Benn
Alexander Ovechkin
Johnny Gaudreau
Artemi Panarin
Max Pacioretty
Filip Forsberg
Jonathan Huberdeau
Brad Marchand
Zach Parise
Gabriel Landeskog
Alexander Steen
Ondrej Palat

Tell me which player realistically would you pick Hall over to play real hockey to try and win a Stanley Cup (not fantasy value) ?
