Let's also remember what Hall has done on the Devils. The guy is a lottery pick magnet.

Joe was quite surprised by the reaction to it as well. He thought it was common knowledgeI feel like this is old news and twitter has melted due to rediscovery of it.
Saw this and it’s pretty good explanation of why Pommer fit so well with Jack.
Looking at the roster as it stands right now, I’m guessing Pominville isn’t coming back right? Idek where you could put him besides Jacks RW, something I really don’t want.

Which one?Got a feeling Jack's Boston buddy will get a shot there unless like you said someone like Hoffman is aquired.
Which one?

I also don't have access to older years, but as for the rest of his last season with other teams:And when Brassard was on the ice last year, a megaton of shots from hi danger areas got through to the net. Over the course of a season, that's no coincidence. It indicates poor defensive play.
Though as I've said -- I do wonder if his year last year and general time with PIT was the outlier.......and if asked to take on a more offensively-oriented 2C role he could get back to 2C form.
And for comparison, in case anyone is thinking "well he must just be getting caved in because he's playing such tough minutes," here's what a good defensive center's chart looks like in his own end:I also don't have access to older years, but as for the rest of his last season with other teams:

His entire season was a disaster in his own end. Maybe it was a down year. Maybe it is a downward trajectory. Maybe it's just a player in his thirties that doesn't have the feet to defend the center position anymore. Either way, I'm not too interested.
