Here's the thing though: I love Hall, wonderful player. But would trading him be the worst thing in the world? He'd bring back a ton, even if his asking out would diminish his value somewhat. Plus, if things were so bad by this year TDL that he asked out, we'd almost certainly be in a position to draft McDavid and losing Hall would seal the deal, giving us RNH-McDavid-Draisatl up the middle. Based on that one could make the argument that trading Hall would be in the long term best interests of the franchise.
oh GOD. Having rookies and tanking on purpose doesn't fix anything anymore!!!! Keep Hall and draft better in other rounds. Make smarter signings and hire better coaching/management. Drafting top picks and throwing them to the wolves doesn't help anymore. How can you not see that?
