Gaudreau has an extra 2 years on his contract, and is younger. His value to us is more, but Hall just won the Hart and is worth more to NJ at the moment.
Very unlikely it'll happen. Just a discussion point.

Your making assumptions that Johnny will want to go home, its a question that we're not going to need to worry about for a good long time.
So what if we bring Taylor home to replace Johnny, at that point he's probably going to want 10 to 11 to 12 million bucks based on the market, so we're going from 7 to 12 million dollars for what we hope is the same production, which I doubt will happen here because we would be losing one of the leagues best playmakers and adding what is basically a sniper to a line of snipers.
There's nothing that makes sense to me in terms of trading Johnny for Hall. Clearly I'm not saying he's not a good or elite player. I'm saying production to dollars it makes no sense.
