I wish Pens could afford Hall.

Maatta, Pouliot, Rust, 1st for Hall.
Sherro loves his D men.

Meh, even if you're correct, which I have no idea whether he is or isn't a good guy off the ice, who cares?
A) He was a teenager or in his early 20s in Edmonton, people are immature then.
B) The guy wants to win more than anything. He literally says he'll take less money to be on a good team when his deal is up. This could negatively effect my team, yet, I support his logic and reasoning. It shows his priorities are in the right place.
C) The guy was loyal to a garbage Oiler team and was broken up over leaving. The guy cares and wants to win.

this. No idea why some oiler fans go after Hall. He was the only piece on this team that cared about winning and performed like a star, never threw any of his teammates under the bus in his stint in edmonton (which he should have) considering bums like horcoff and Ference thought they were slick taking jabs at the young players in their interviews.
Halls a beast
As an Oiler fan I go after Hall because of his reputation off the ice in Edmonton.
To me the type of person you are when the cameras are off matters as much as what you do when the cameras are on. He was and continues to be a great left winger. I don't miss him though.
The moment he got traded more stories of his off ice attitude came out. If he was getting 100pts it would not have been a problem.

I don't recall Horcoff saying anything. Ference never named names, but we all knew who he was referencing and we all knew it was justified considering other guys like Belanger and Scrivens alluded to the issue(s) as well - that there was division in the room (clique groups), that guys were more worried about plans after practice than practice itself, that veterans weren't shown the usual respect they receive in a normal locker room. Hall was the face of the franchise prior to McDavid showing up, and that was the identity of "his" team.
Say what you will about Ference's on ice play (completely underwhelming), but the guy is a straight shooter and very active in off ice initiatives/charities. If Hall had his intangibles and off-ice persona, he might still be an Oiler.

I assume you didn't want Mark Messier on the team for those cups in the 80's then?
because it's well known he was a huge jerk and cancer off the ice but was a damn good player on it.

Would give up a lot for him. Maatta+Sprong+1st

Would easily send Maatta, Sprong, and 1st.
Though would leave the Kids with Sid and play Hall with Geno.
Sheary - Crosby - Guentzel
Hall - Malkin - Kessel
Hagelin - ? - Rust
Wilson - ? - Kuhnhackl
because usually veterans lead by example, not play like hot garbage for multiple seasons then in the post game interview state " yeah were a young team who makes mistakes, but the young guys are coming around and will learn evebtually" when it was obvious to anyone watching that Horcoff, Ference and Smyth (still a legend but you need to know when to quit) were total liabilities every night yet they (Ference usually, sometimes Horcoff) would pass off the failure onto the young kids who actually performed pretty well

At some point people gotta quit blaming the team he is on.
Hall leaves the Oilers. The Oilers improve dramatically. 25 ~ 30 points in a worst case scenario.
Hall comes to the Devils. The Devils fall off precipitously. ~ 10 points if they play a little over .500 on the way in.
Not saying Hall doesn't have value, but if he ever does make a deep playoff run it will be as a complementary piece and not as the main offensive guy on a team.
Thanks god your not our GM. We're fine without Hall. Thank you very much. Any trade that brings Hall Back is a pipe dream. Chia knows all the garbage that comes with Hall. Now go to your room.
Wouldn't touch him with a 10 foot pole. We have 3 rookies who are going to outpoint him this season.
7 Straight years without sniffing playoffs, and Edmonton makes it the year of the trade.
That's not a fluke

Yeah we are fine with out him . But is is not his fault we were bad while he was here . Last off season Chia add Lucic, Larsson , Russell , Caggiula and then McDavid has played ever games so far same as Klefbom . Nurse has taken a step forward . Cam Talbot has been much better this year . So we added size , D and 3 young players stayed healthy and took steps forward and this is because Hall isn't here ?
Best look at my postings for a few years I was calling for him to be traded . Not because of Hall,s play . But we needed a change and he had the most value
