The only good thing for the Coyotes is that it will become a lot easier to sign Hall....I guess if people think he's the problem, that is more of a curse than a blessing.
Almost like the Sharks with Karlsson, I wonder if Karlsson's struggles made it easier for San Jose to retain him. Karlsson was playing the best hockey of his career after settling in. He then suffered another lower body injury. Going into the off season insiders were reporting that teams weren't going to feel comfortable putting the Doughty contract on the table for him on July 1st. If Karlsson finished strong and healthy playing the kind of hockey he played mid season, I wonder if the market for him would have been better, and it would have eliminated the advantage San Jose had which was a willingness to go 8 x 11.5 with a NMC and bonuses.

At least Duchene got his big contract with Nashville. Hall will get his but I doubt it will be 10.5-11 like he was looking for at the beginning of the season.

That's pretty bad but how much of that is them just not being as good as their record suggested at the time of the trade? Nobody can score over there (other than Hall), kessel is down to 38 pts in 70 games when he was a point per game last year.

Okay, maybe the worst is behind us...?
Is it a one-off season? I'm contemplating dealing for him in my keeper league...I feel like the Rangers are right there and will get better again next year, but will Zib be able to repeat?

He put up 74 last year, he's one of the best offensive players in the league. Expect 35 goals and ppg, be happy and surprised if he has another 50+ goal, 100+ point type season.
I recently spoke to a father of a Coyotes player and to sum up: "Hall is not a well liked guy in the dressing room; he thinks he is more important than everyone else"

What he said.
I've had Zibby in my two fantasy leagues these last two seasons and it's kept me high up in the rankings.

I would be conservative and pencil him in for 70-75 points next year. I don't think you can count on anyone in the league (outside of possibly McDavid and Drai) as constant PPG guys. There's a decent chance he can beat 75...but then you'll be taking a risk (especially since his fantasy cost is going to skyrocket this summer)

Guarantee you he gets 80-90 points next season as the team around him matures a bit more. You can quote me on that later.

I hope he does. Hell, I hope he breaks 100. But you can't lead with your heart in sports pools.

Dorion missed the boat. Should have kept Duchene and acquire Taylor Hall. Guaranteed 1st, 2nd and 3rd OA

Can someone who watches Arizona/New Jersey make a case from an on ice stand point about how adding Hall makes them worse? Because it seems illogical that adding a productive forward would ruin a team.
Or is there an advanced stat for measuring how badly the hockey gods don't like certain players?

Damn Isles just won't accept defeat, coming back twice to tie the game against the Nucks.
Take the L, NYI!

You could say the same about plenty of other star players around the league. Losing exacerbates everything.

Where there is smoke, there is fire. Hall has a bad reputation going back to his time in Kingston.
