According to Friedman his agent will tell him to test the market.

A signed Hall to Colorado for Jost, a 2020 1st and Zadorov. As good as Hall is he's not getting the Avs to give up Makar or Byram.

As a Devils fan I agree,
No way Makar or Byram is in a deal unless the devils add to Hall , or sign and trade plus an add. Even then very very doubtful.
Timmins I am guessing is almost as untouchable .
I’d be happy with Zadorov and ?? Newhook out of the question for a signed Hall or Hall plus a pick or Wood or McCleod / Bastian / ?
It was really hard to tell this was from NJ fan's perspective until I read the title.

A guy with a career high of 52 points, who has started 56.7% of his shifts in the offensive zone and isn't even in the top 50 for PPG among Cs is one of the 30 best Cs in the NHL?
Idk if Avs fans would even trade Byram for a signed Hall 1/1. Certainly not Malkar.
I'm not sure that type of proposal will ever be done. You get points for creativity though.

Problem with that is that its basically 20M of real cash an owner gets to spend on a player playing for another team.
Not really something most owners would consider...

Nah. It was Zadorov + Jost, no 1st.
I would personally not do that deal. Way overpayment.
He has said the most important thing is the team and winning. Literally said he has and will make plenty of money. This guys been in one PO series his whole career, it's that important. He owes NJ nothing but I believe he will find a good fit and Shero works that deal. I think Shero respects him enough to not jerk him around.
Kind of a dumb comment. Of course he can do what he wants, but he wants to win. He'll get paid, he will skip out on a few bucks to be on a winner. If you don't think Stone was that than I can't help you.

I am not disputing any of that although Hall has a bit of a reputation in that regard stemming from Edmonton that winning might not be as important to him as he says in all reality. But he got older and I am willing to give him the benefit of the doubt in that regard.
But why wouldn't he pull a Matt Duchene and pick his destination July 1st out of all 31 instead of comitting to one of the few teams that might be willing and able to pull off a trade like that right now or at the deadline?
Duchene also could have gotten significantly more money elsewhere especially from the team that traded for him in Columbus. But he wanted to be in Nashville and took less money to make that happen via UFA.
Why wouldn't Hall do the same ? Look at the teams and offers he has on July 1st and pick the one that he likes best.
Wouldn't that be by far his smartest play? Why commit pre-trade to an extension with a team he never played for and shackle yourself to a team that you do not really want to play for (or that would be your 3rd or 4th choice in UFA at best) for the rest of your career?
Stone was different. He had some sort of in with the Vegas bras and clearly (as most players) loved Vegas and was not too keen on going through the motions on July 1st anyways. Ferris and Hall don't seem to share that sentiment going by recent comments.

OP is not a NJ fan
at least he never posts in the NJ forum, so keep that in mind

Don't paint us all with the same brush. I think most sane Devils fans realize we wouldn't get Byram or Makar for Hall.

I have a theory that he does post in NJ forum under a different user name, and this is his burner account for terrible proposals on this board.
For a fan of a team that drafted and developed Nathan MacKinnon, this looks like there's a lack of memory space.A guy with a career high of 52 points, who has started 56.7% of his shifts in the offensive zone and isn't even in the top 50 for PPG among Cs is one of the 30 best Cs in the NHL?

what in the world is this? Nico is one of the best es centers in the league? Nico is a top 30 centre? Based on what? I mean I know his underlying stats are decent but you can’t be a top 30 centre without being able to produce.
-Career high 52 points.
- 75th among NHL centers in 5v5 points last year.
- on pace for 40 points this season
Hischier is a great young player who will only get better but he isn’t close to what you think he is right now.
Steep but within reason.

Neither do I and I’ve been a fan since 87. I have a Devils tattoo on my arm that’s probably been around longer than a lot of the people who post in the Devils forum. I’m not sticking up for the op but posting in the HF Devils forum isn’t what makes someone a fan.
