Come home Hall. Come home and be the new Messier to McDavid's Gretzky you were always destined to be.
5pts in 6 games...Unless New Jersey has a huge turn around. I can't see Hall staying. That being said, he's not exactly playing himself into a payday. If he continues to have a down year, he can pretty much say goodbye to the insane Marner type offers.
Of course, five games is WAY too early for this discussion. By December, we'll have a better estimation where both the team and Hall are, respectively.
you can always trade drai for him, if you really want him.Come home Hall. Come home and be the new Messier to McDavid's Gretzky you were always destined to be.

Panarin makes his entire line better, Hall doesn't. Not to mention he can actually stay healthy and produce.
I think at this point it's pretty obvious he is determined to go to UFA and the Devils are going to have to trade him by the deadline.
If he was going to sign, he would have by now. before he even stepped on the ice for opening night, even training camp, like every other franchise player in their contract years
is Roman Josi "determined" to go to UFA since he isn't signed yet? what about Nick Backstrom? Alex Pietrangelo?
Yeah like Tavares did last year ? (Rolls eyes)
Other franchise players were not coming off knee injuries which caused them to not play in 49 games the previous year. I would think other GM's would want to see him play before trading assets for him.I think at this point it's pretty obvious he is determined to go to UFA and the Devils are going to have to trade him by the deadline.

Calgary is home, not Edmonton.Come home Hall. Come home and be the new Messier to McDavid's Gretzky you were always destined to be.

Hopefully you are right and he wants to test UFA.
IMO whoever gives him a 7 or 8 (in the Devils case) is going to regret it. I have posted that many times and other Devils fans will tell you I am not a big Hall fan.That sounds like a bit of a justification. You cant with an honest face tell me if Hall came to Shero asking for the same contract Panarin got you wouldn't run to get him signed faster than you could say "Fire Hynes"
Come home Hall. Come home and be the new Kurri to Draisaitl's Gretzky you were always destined to be.
Those players are on teams that win and go to the playoffs. Hall is not. Those players havent publicly said they want to play on playoff teams when not on playoffs teams.is Roman Josi "determined" to go to UFA since he isn't signed yet? what about Nick Backstrom? Alex Pietrangelo?
Fixed it for you just a little
Hall and Draisaitl were the bomb diggity when they played together though. If Hall came back you would never have to pair McDavid with Draisaitl again. Just roll em 1-2 at center. Maybe make RNH a winger for good and put him with McDavid and Neal
lol
what?
did you not watch the Devils make the playoffs with an 18 year old 1C on Hall's line?
Thats one way to downplay a first overall pick I guess

If Hall really gave the "green light" to his agent to talk contract with NJ why is it so obvious that Hall wants out? Is it possible that Shero is waffling on committing 8 years and Panarin money to Hall? As others have noted, that's not necessarily a great deal for a team with a number of players 22 and under who are expected to be the actual core of the team in the future.
No way. I mean I wish that were true and the ball was in the Devils court but if Hall wanted to sign he would be signed.
Last year I stated he really needed to be signed on July 1 of this year (or soon after). Then I said to myself.. ok by training camp. Then... ok... before deadline. But now that the situation with the team is unfolding the way it is, there is just no way. The ship has sailed.
Time kills deals. If there was a deal to be made it was on July 1 in my opinion. Devils fans need to understand that it is what it is and hope for a good return.
