He had to be moved. Chiarelli inherited the problem that MacTavish and Lowe created with Hall. His play on the ice was nothing compared to his off ice antics.

Yup, and Hall was the face of the franchise, he was their golden boy. KLown and MacTavish would even take him on their UFA schmoozing visits everywhere to help sell players on coming there...then suddenly they have McLotteryballs and Hall is cast aside. How do you keep that player without the room going toxic?
Still though, doesn't mean we can't laugh heartily at it. I actually really like Hall since he left. A Calgarian who went #1 overall and prob hates the Oilers now. Elite winger, plays in the East so his personal and team success doesn't affect us at all. Plus Edmonton looks like they got fleeced on that trade. What's not to like?
