JeremyCuddles Posted July 24, 2021 Share Posted July 24, 2021 Little much for Hall, but he is the Beats of NHL players. Kudos to him for finding a way to get good paydays for okay play. Although he was near a PPG with Boston. So maybe this will look good for them. Injury prone, defensive liability, brings slightly more offense than Tanner Pearson does, and is physically non existent. If he can stay healthy he should be good for at least 60+ points.

Hall is an elite 1st line winger. 6 million for 4 years is great for a player like Hall. This is the kind of free agent signing I wish Benning could actually do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is the kind of free agent signing I wish Benning could actually do Eliter 1st line winger? Averaged 16 minutes a game in Boston, and that's rounding up from 15 minutes. He's pretty average at best. Scored more than 25 goals 4 times in his 11 year career. Has scored more than 60 points in a season 3 times over that same time span. He is, like I said, terrible defensively. And for a one dimensional player, isn't even that prolific at scoring. He has 596 points in 680 games, 0.87 points per game. Doesn't kill penalties. Like, I can't find a single thing about him that is elite level. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't win a Hart if you aren't Elite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hall was actually really good in Boston. He fit well in their system. Its a bit pricy but honestly any GM in the league would have probably signed that deal for him.

oldnews Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 He'll probably continue to produce enough to warrant that - but is he a player you "win with"? Maybe not a 'fair' question - but I've never found his hockey intelligence convincing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Toyotasfan Posted July 26, 2021 Share Posted July 26, 2021 I’ve always wondered if Hall was that dressing room cancer that can tear a team apart. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The guy won league MVP a few years ago. That doesnt happen unless you have high hockey iq. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He had 5 pts in the playoffs - 3 even strength points, in 11 games - had the usual tilted ice to / he plays on - was a -2, the usual weak defensive metrics - a player that is notoriously about as vacant/inconsistent as they come off the puck. You can take Taylor Hall out of Deadmonton, but I'm not sure you can take the Deadmonton out of Taylor Hall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaxVerstappen33 Posted October 29, 2021 Share Posted October 29, 2021 (edited) Had 39 goals in 2017/18. What happened to this guy ? His stock has collapsed. I'd probably take him on his contract over Garlund. Edited October 29, 2021 by MaxVerstappen33 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

More money, 4 years older, less points, big time injury history.... no way I take him over Garland. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
