Not surprisingly, but the Sabres retained 50 percent of Taylor Hall's $8 M salary/AAV to facilitate the trade

Pretty bad return, whoever signs Hall long term is going to regret it.

Just goes to show the damage Buffalo did to Hall’s value, and what a dumb decision it was by Hall to sign there.

The market is the market.

He bought a 2nd round pick by signing Hall to a 1-year deal. Seems pretty good to me.
his owner might not see the value like you do lol

“So, guys, you managed a second and Bjork for Hall and Lazar? That’s great. I guess we have to give you a first and Simon for Eichel and Reider.

This is genius from the Bruins GM, cheap addition to ensure his team has a super speedy retool. Bruins are guaranteed the 1st OA and don’t even need to suffer through a full season of tanking.

It will be weird to see the lottery ball come up with a PO team but there you go.

I dunno why everyone is surprised at the Hall return. He has two goals and a full NMC. It's not like the Sabres could shop him around to whatever teams they wanted.

Seems underwhelming, but Hall has 2 goals. The same as Ritchie.

You can blame the Sabres for the return, but Hall didn't help matters with his play.

Great point. Thanks tranny.

Old Hall could bring in a haul. This Hall, his production and contract? Not so much.

Imagine having a trade worked out and going to the guy you paid 8 million for 2 goals and him vetoing it. No jury would convict.

Boston is only 4 points up for the last playoff spot, albeit with 2 games in hand. However, their defense is destroyed right now, so there’s definitely room for regression.

Just watch the Rangers knock them out on the last day when Hall fails to score in a shootout.

He does have 17 points...obviously not good for his standards but on that team...he also seemed to be the bell of the ball but I guess not so much. Would be funny if he turned down the Oilers but we will probably never find out.
