Confirmed Trade: [CHI/BOS] Taylor Hall and Nick Foligno (UFA rights) for Ian Mitchell and Alec Regula

[rocketdan9]

Can either Mitchell or Regula play?

Or Bruins would have been better off asking for a bag of pucks...

Mitchell is really soft, kinda slow and talented. Regula is big, with a bit of snarl and some puck skills but he's not very fleet of foot either and he makes some goofy decisions. Regula might turn into a big bottom pairing guy. Mitchell I don't see it.

Remember when Taylor Hall being traded was the biggest trade on one of the wildest offseason days in recent memory?

Now him being traded is closer to a footnote during a wild week

Hall is a one way player.

Great cap dump for Boston

not sure how Hall will fit with the Hawks, doesn't seem like the type you want with Bedard

 

[CapitalsCupReality]

Maybe he’s thinking he’ll get a deal renting Kane‘s place? Lol….

 

[DFC]

I think Chicago flips Hall.

Is Boston going after Karlsson?

Uhh... they are going after having a NHL legal 21 man roster.

 

[cheesymc]

Wow, Bruins are amazing at trades... didn't have to give up any prospects or picks for cap dumps...

 

[Harvey Birdman]

Solid move by Chicago. Give Bedard a veteran winger that can help CB learn to translate his game to the NHL. And through out the season of a team gets an injury bug at forward you can flip him for an asset or flip him at the deadline and have plenty of cap space to retain and spike his value. Tactically I like the deal from Chicago.

 

[Sidney the Kidney]

Friedman just came out today and said that he has heard Hall isn't going to move due to the ongoing knee injury situation.

Friedman's credibility takes a bit of a hit today.

 

[kthx]

So future considerations basically? Man future is grim.

Yup zero reason to complain about this from a Hawks standpoint. Definitely leveraged the Bruins cap situation. They can turn a retained Hall into something more interesting that Mitchell or Regula. Seems like a great guy to have initially too, to help Bedard adjust - even if they aren’t on the same lines, just being a veteran former #1 pick who was hyped (albeit not to Bedard level).

You mean Forbort or Rielly + a 2nd or prospect for nothint right?

About as accurate as your predictions in the Ullmark thread... keep your trash else where

I can tell you didn’t watch many Bruins games last season.

 

[biturbo19]

I wonder if Chicago is going to flip Hall for assets with retention. Could be a domino move here

I would've thought this made sense. Hawks can retain Hall down to a price point that makes more sense. Bruins get to unload the whole contract. Hawks get an actual asset rather than a veteran player.

But Chicago do still need to have some veteran players to eat some minutes for them. It also sounds like Hall may not be fully healthy? So in that case, i could see it being something that they defer to the deadline. Try to move him there.

So soft, slow skater in a 5'11 frame?

 

[NJDevilsFan21]

Have to feel for Hall. He finally made it to a contender only to go back toa team equivalent to the 2017 Devils.

 

[WhalerTurnedBruin55]

Wow... can't even get a pick?

Hall is a solid vet and great to have with Bedard

Yea this is a terrible return. Clearly a cap dump move but I thought he’d have decent value. Maybe our brass values these pieces but I don’t see why they would

I mean he just played on the Bruins defensive zone start focused shutdown line and kept his mouth shut and was a good solider.

 

[Mersss]

As accurate? Hall was literally dumped for 2 AHLer. So much for the Bruins getting "a good pick or prospect"

Hall is flipped to a contender mid season for actual value.

Sweeney is allergic to even asking for a mid-late pick for some reason.

I feel like even getting a 4th wouldn't have been a deal breaker there.

Kind wish the Avs got in on this, pay a 1st for retention from Chicago.

Hall is not a one way player , I have no idea how you came up with that . I just wonder why he did not get something back , I personally would have held him until the trade deadline when I believe he might have more value . I understand that the Bruins are up against the cap but maybe I am wrong but I would like to think some thing could have been done , maybe they are using the money for Bertuzzi who is a gritty tough player but no way he is all around Halls equal , I also have a gut feeling he is going to be pricey........

Wait til mid-season, I bet they would. Chicago wins, Bruins lose.

Cap dump plain and simple... but questionable asset management per Sweeney, which isn't exactly surprising.

Throwing in Nick Foligno a year too late.
