We need a separate thread to discuss this. I don't get why people feel the need to drag Hall through the mud to praise Larsson.
No he's not. How is this level of homerism still persisting? The guy had a peak where he was between 2013-2014. He's a 60 point playmaking winger with injury issues not a "top winger in the game".
Name 10 left wingers that are better
You have to take into account teammates when looking at production
Is that what happened in Jersey then? Is that Hall's excuse their now also? They prided themselves on system and process and now with the subtraction of Larsson their structure went to the toilet?
Watched Hall this year again cost NJ a point in OT by "doing it all himself"
He wasn't a one man show on any of his lines. He just chose to be many nights
This excuse is complete rubbish. Hall had Ebs and RNH and Perrron and Hemsky here for points also.
PS: Why do people keep referring to him as a top winger? Top wingers get chosen to represent their countries especially when they are available and healthy. Hall getting passed over injury after injury should sound off some alarm bells...no?
NJ would need defensive help even with Larsson. Severson hasn't tracked they way they had hoped. NJ would've been garbage with or without Larsson.
When Hall had those guys or Draisaitl, he produced like a top winger in the game. His 5v5 ES production was elite
Hall not getting picked on Team Canada was purely due to a lack of team success in the playoffs. Giroux, Thornton, Subban, etc... have also been left off for far inferior players.
