Hall has said in an interview that contracts likely will be worse since Covid but thats ok we make lots as NHL players. He also said winning is more important.
Because Hall was a first overall pick and got a great 2nd contract he's made about $45 million. Imo guys like him are more likely to sign for less to win because he's already had a big payday. 7 years at $8 mil puts him over $100 million in career earnings. He might want more but he may be sick of missing the playoffs every year too
Tavares took less to sign with the leafs. Rumors were sharks offered 13 million a year. Tavares took less but Rumors were that Dubas couldn't move Matthews Nylander or Marner. I wonder if Hall takes less he says the same thing? Hall take 8 for 7vyears but you can't turn around and trade Johnny or tkachuk or Monahan or lindholm cause these guys are why I want to be here?
If that's the case I'd be on board to look at moving Ryan and Mangipane depending on his demands. Tough to keep everyone and if you add Hall and you like the Bennett line as is. Mangipane may be the odd man out.
Mangipane to Nyi for Mayfield and 3rd
Ryan for 4th?
