Taylor Hall Vs Ovechkin Moving forward?

[Sam Spade]

Depends on time frame. At some point Ovechkin is going to decline harder assuming they follow something of a common career arch.

Anything under 2 years is Ovechkin for sure for me.

Anything over 8 years is Hall for sure for me.

This 100%.

Plus, I don't know if there are more players in the league who get really nice looks and don't put the puck in the back of the net than Taylor Hall?

 

[Kuhta]

I would take Ovi. He is 21 goals from 600 goals. 700 is quite likely also. I would enjoy those celebrations gladly.

32 yr old ovenchicken, or 26 year old hall

2007 called, they want their garbage chirps back.

did the garbage chirps of 2007 hurt you this much that you're still bitter, 10 years later?

the world may never know

No it wasn't funny to begin with.

 

[tony d]

Still Ovie for me.

Tough Decision.

I'm leaning toward Hall, because he's 6 years younger.

But Ovechkin i feel could just as easily give you 30 Goals minimum until he's like 38-39 years old.

Ill take Ovechkin.

"right now, moving forward" is pretty bad phrasing honestly. Not sure what you want to know but I'd rather have Ovechkin right now this year

The way i took the poll is - your team can trade for 1 player today today (with or without cap, unclear). Who do you take. So it involves the right now, this year, but also keeping the player as a part of your team, until he retires/traded/FA, etc.

How long each player lasts depends on how long you think they last. They'll both last more than 2 years, and 8 years is a long time so debatable.

I personally still take Ovi without thinking twice. Simply a higher tier player, and he's on pace for ~55 goals and close to 90 points. He seems far from done. Plus - he's more entertaining.

This was a hard one, but gave it to Ovi because he's an amazing leader on the ice and produces at an amazing rate.

Hall just is more of a passenger player that is shoot first ask questions later. Can't really rely on him to drive the ship.

Hall as a passenger? have you watched him since he left edmonton?

 

[Fataldogg]

Ovechkin. Ovechkin at his worst is as good as Hall at his best.

 

[DudeWhereIsMakar]

Yeah, second in scoring and the team finished last in their division.
This year him and Hischer are working well together.

Not a passenger at all this year, just took him a year to get adjusted and the devils were shit last year

 

[DrJustice]

Now: Ovi

Future: Hall

 

[WesMcCauley]

hall has 4 less points in two less games, not too much of a difference.

Ovi has 23 goals, Hall has 11.

 

[UsernameWasTaken]

I'll go with Ovi.

Would probably go with the guy until he retires. He's relentless.

He was tied in points with Palmieri and played in 10 less games. Don't be dumb
