They should've traded Hall

They were never doing that since they would’ve gift rapped a top #10 pick and told their fans that they’re waiving the white flag with 20 games left.

I said so since day #1 and I’ll say it again, I don’t think they’ll make the playoffs and I see us getting the 10th or 11th overall pick.

At this rate the Coyote pick will be our best pick because our remaining schedule is pretty easy and we have 4 games in hand on them. :laugh:

Doesnt the Arizona pick slide to 2021 if they miss the playoffs?

Question for you all

Would you rather have the Rangers or Islanders current team and prospect system? Coaches aside

So with this whole EBUG thing going on. Them possibly looking to change the rules or something.

I could be wrong here but this has happened before and it was about the cool story not about changing the rule.

I feel like this is being made a bigger deal because it happened to the Leafs. Just my 2 cents.

Not only gift-wrapping a Top #10 pick but also an A+ prospect in Wrecking-Bahl as well.

I think Arizona is going to do whatever it takes to re-sign Hall, imo.

Otherwise, they would've lost Premium assets for several months of Hall and that's it.

EDIT : sigh. Can't believe I made such a mistake.

lol, they got two goals on 10 shots, it's not like he was Hasek in there. Leafs fans love to cry, good lord.

Detroit fans talk a lot for their recent history , and the one their setting this year, being so poor

And im surprised how many NHL fans know Jack is a bust already! They should have let us know pre-draft so we could have taken the more successful prospect in... err...

* We got Bahl, Merkley and Schnarr from the Yotes and Foote from the Bolts.

I know you knew, but just in case ;)

That's HF for you, lots of folks are programmed to want to be the first to tell you that a guy stinks as if it comes with some sort of medal. It's too bad the old threads aren't archived, because the Parise threads from his rookie year were splendid. Lots of "I knew he wasn't that good, that's why he fell in the draft" type of posts. In particular, I remember arguing with one Oilers fan who was adamant that Edmonton had come out with the better end of the trade down (Marc-Antoine Pouliot + J.F. Jacques).

Interesting site on the Yotes board.

Arizona Coyotes Playoff Chances - Sports Club Stats

Scroll down for the playoff chance chart. The Devils one is hilarious, it craters in early October and a flat line since December lol.

I remember people not wanting to accept that the season was trashed after just two weeks. There was just no coming back from that collapse in the first game. Not from a mathematical standpoint obviously, but it was clear that things were going to go downhill fast.

the way those things work, they would have quickly rebounded if they ever got on an actual winning streak.

That's a little hyperbolic. I mean, nobody enjoyed the collapse in that game and it gave everyone a dose of reality after being giddy over the offensive output, but there were plenty of followup games where there was an opportunity to right things. But the offense sputtered, the goaltending cratered, and we were done within a month or so.

The season wasn't over after Opening Night but anyone could see that was the kind of ghastly loss that 'could' start a death spiral a la our blown lead against Dallas in October 2010 which started the Mac crash landing...which it did. And yeah, after 0-4-2 it looked extremely unlikely at best this team was going to make a run and Shero pretty much cashed out on the season after two months with the Hall trade.

I dont enjoy being mean but I couldnt stand people trying to compare or even mention Detroit in tge same breath as Jersey when it comes to what they are and how theyre rebuilding

I Gave my little rant in that Hughes thread and thatll be the end of it. I try not to attack peoples teams, Outside of friendly hockey banter, but when shit like ‘end Hughes’ career Seider!’ Is said - I cant help but remind them how woefully pathetic they are

I simply stated that it would be impressive for another 18-year-old rookie(Seider) to get a game-misconduct and suspension his first year in the league. :sarcasm:

Anyway, Wings fans are always going to be sore because of '95. :D
