You can no longer offer any conditions based on contract extensions.
Examining some major changes made to the new NHL CBA
I don't think Hall is ever getting close to MVP status again. He is better than what he has shown in Buffalo, but I won't be surprised if being just a little better than he is in Buffalo right now, is him for the rest of his career.You don't trade a 1st or top prospect for Hall unless you know for sure you can re-sign him at a good price. While extremely talented a few weeks of him is not worth that price IMO
Why can't I shake the feeling that Halls nest long term contract will be an anchor?
I don't want him in Montreal unless the price is soooo loooow that he's a justifiable experiment. But after that....bye....
I don't see the point of Buffalo taking futures for Hall, their roster and prospect pool is stacked with high picks throughout the last decade and they're still a dumpster fire. I really don't see how a late 1st this season helps them going forward.
Nobody is giving Hall a long term contract
I could see a 1st being worth it if it were conditional on playoff performance.You don't trade a 1st or top prospect for Hall unless you know for sure you can re-sign him at a good price. While extremely talented a few weeks of him is not worth that price IMO
