Points don't say everything about Hall's game. You won't find many forwards who drive 5v5 possession the way he does. That's arguably just as important as putting up a ton of points.
Well there's also the other obvious part of that ... the more you have the puck, the less you are getting scored on.
They had two players in McDavid and Hall that could tilt the ice for 40-44 minutes a game, leaving 16-20 minutes of the game left to have to manage. Which is a low f***ing bar. And they threw that away to get Lucic and any throw in no.2/3 D that shot right.
Not enough to have Maroon and Kassian already, we needed to go fullllll slow-ass grind team to appease Dumborelli.
