Speculation: Taylor Hall - Contract discussion

[Nocashstyle]

They haven’t met yet. They are meeting Thursday.

Yeah but they’ve met at least two other times already...apparently they just sat and stared at each other instead of even generally speaking money/term/parameters

 

[jkrdevil]

They can afford him?

Taresenko is on LTIR and is going to be out pretty much the rest of the regular season...so yes they can

They can afford to sign him long term?

 

[jkrdevil]

Depends on what they do with Pietroangelo, who is also a UFA at the end of the year

 

[Billdo]

they want Hall for a deep run, they can give us Byram and some picks that include a first rounder. Newhook would be the least I’d take prospect offer wise, but they’d need to add to the picks that would obviously come with that.

Ok there's no way we get Byram AND picks.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

I'd just do a one for one with Byram tbh

 

[Billdo]

same, as a matter of fact I'd throw something in too.

 

[Beetlebum]

This couldn't be more wrong. We have one Hart trophy winner in franchise history.

Yeah, I'll take Elias, Kovy, Parise, and Lemieux over him every day of the week.

How many of our Hall of Famers won the Hart, are you saying Hall is better than them too? The same Hall who scored over 30 goals once in his career despite playing in an offense driven system for all of it.

McKenzie said there’s a 25% chance the Devils re-sign Hall.

 

[Lindys Lazy Eye]

McKenzie said there’s a 25% chance the Devils re-sign Hall.

Then he should be traded as soon as possible.

 

[New Jersey Devils]

McKenzie said there’s a 25% chance the Devils re-sign Hall.

Well that’s not ideal. Time to get a top pairing defenseman and a blue chip prospect.

 

[Bcap88]

Where was this said at

 

[Blackjack]

McKenzie said there’s a 25% chance the Devils re-sign Hall.

LMAO, what kind of idiocy is that? It's totally inappropriate to give quantitative odds on something like that with absolutely no basis.

 

[NJDevs26]

McKenzie's solid when it comes to actual reporting but just another talking head when it comes to prognosticating.

 

[MadDevil]

Well that’s not ideal. Time to get a top pairing defenseman and a blue chip prospect.

I highly doubt you're getting both of those for Hall.

Apparently it was on TSN’s intermission quiz. Basically the panelist were given multiple choices to pick

 

[devilsfan35]

If the devils were in a playoff position at this point, he would have probably said 50%. A lot can change between now and December. Hopefully for the better

 

[BenedictGomez]

Then he should be traded as soon as possible.

Shero will know more in the next 48 hours. If Hall isn't signing or even so much as hmmms about it & drags this out, he's going to be traded. Before this season started, I said, "Thanksgiving", and I'm sticking to that answer.

TSN the quiz or what ever it’s called.

"you got a 25% chance at best to sign me, and now ray shero knows he can't sign me so he's not even gonna try...then you add devils start to the mix and your percents drastic go down"

I know he's meeting with his agent, but from Hall's comments it really doesn't sounds like these conversations are substantive. I said it before, but I think the return on Hall will be absolutely sterling this year. Two SC contenders losing top wing scoring threats to long term injury is basically a wet dream for us.

I agree.

Frankly I'd hope this gets done before Thanksgiving, one way or the other.

The longer we hold onto Hall the longer we risk him getting hurt and us getting boned.

 

[NJDevs26]

LOL we’ve gone from the we’d better sign him mentality in the offseason to where we’ll be disappointed if he does resign cause of this mythical trade return people are talking themselves into believing

 

[Better Call Sal]

So basically, he was just playing the odds and it's not off of real, tangible information?

Yeah, I'll disregard that until some more concrete information comes along.
