I guess for every Virtanen and a second rounder for Hughes there's stuff like this to balance it out.

Oof, yeah, that take. Lol. I love me some Kyle Palmieri, but Mark Stone is about as top flight of a RW as there is. Higher PPG by a pretty significant margin and much stronger player defensively too.
Stone is awesome.

Mark Stone is, like, a top-10 overall forward in the league. He's the guy people think Patrice Bergeron is.

Anyways, I have no issue with other teams talking to Hall to pre-negotiate an extension, but I don't think that's something Hall would be willing to do. He and his agent both seem dead set on hitting the open market and fielding offers from everyone.
Hall will be traded as a pure rental.

Hall is the elephant in the room and his presence isn’t making it easier for anyone.
This shit show we are seeing will continue as long as he’s on the roster. I can understand that Ray is trying to maximize his return but when you know that your best player has a foot and a half out the door, it has to affect the rest of the team.
I can see us having a bounce back season next year, especially if Shero goes out and hires a coach with experience.

You think the team is struggling because Taylor Hall is still here? LMAO. No.
When the best player on your team is playing half-assed with 0 interest in the benefit of the team...it does make a difference whether you want to believe it or not.
Yes, I do.
Is it all on him, absolutely not but he is one of the main issues, absolutely.
You can cry about Hynes or Shero all you want, at the end of the day, the guys on the ice make the difference. The guy has 4 goals and one of them is in an empty net.
His poor play has reflected on the rest of the team. Our best player has to carry the team and lead by example, period. He wants to be viewed as "the guy", then man the f*** up and be "the guy".
He’s letting time pass by because he knows it’s a matter of weeks before he gets moved elsewhere and he’ll probably kick it in overdrive when he lands on a contender.
The quicker Ray pulls the trigger, the sooner we’ll start moving forward. Right now, we’re just stuck in mud.

It absolutely is. The post above yours will explain my position on the matter.

'settle'?
I think we'd be lucky to just get Boeser or the 1st. Maybe I'm underselling the market, but it is no longer obvious to me that folks will pay top dollar considering knee worries, the fact we're in the toilet, and that he seems to be a pure rental.
For sure, if a couple of teams step forward and look like they are close, or if Hall will listen to contract talk before the deal - it would make an enormous difference, but at this point in the season it's really tough to peg his value.

I think Hall is viewed as the go to guy on the team. Young guys defer to him, might be better to just move him sooner then later to have the young guys be THE GUYS.

Has to be, his situation is crystal clear at this point and there's zero benefit to holding onto him any longer. The sooner the team moves on the better off we'll be.

Leafs-Flyers broadcast, experts were asked which team is most likely to get Hall.
Bob McKenzie - Colorado
Dave Poulin - Colorado
Jeff O’Neill - San Jose
“The trainer in Colorado is getting the jersey ready for Hall right now.”

I don’t see Sakic as bold and I wouldn’t be shocked if Shero is just using talks with COL to draw out teams that actually want to trade for Hall.

Right or wrong but hall isn’t going anywhere now. Shero will give the team 10-15 games after Hynes to see if they can get something going before moving hall. Stupid he waited this long to get rid of Hynes because to me the longer we wait to trade hall the less the return is. But he would look foolish trading hall after getting rid of Hynes
The only thing that can make Shero look worse than he already does would be to not get the best return for Hall that he possibly can. He may be a flawed GM but he at least tends to do well in trades.
