LeBrun: Hall and the Sabres have mutual interest in an extension

[Flash20]

I give up on this joke of a franchise

 

[NotAVacuumSalesman]

The Pegulas don't seem smart with their money making decision.

If I was Hall, I'd go max dollars and term.

When Hall says he wants to go to a contender. He wasn't talking about cup contenders. He's talking about who's able to pay him. The part about winning is his bank account.

 

[razor8]

What was he supposed to say?

If he said the truth (e. g. he wants to get a fat, long-term deal doesn't really matter where), he would get criticized.

Yeah, no pro athlete can just come out and say that he just wants a big paycheck and play for a team where there's no real pressure to win. Not going to happen.

 

[Nemesis Prime]

Hall: I want to stay in Buffalo

Everbody:

 

[Mr Positive]

Imo Hall is in for a rude awakening come this off season. Money is hard to come by for teams, and he is having another down year. Has he ever been on a winner? Anyway I see him getting less next off season, and likely on another short term deal.

There is a huge amount of cash entering the league though: Seattle. Imo that's where Hall is targeting. If Buffalo turns their season around he could stay there, but otherwise he just wants them around to help him maximize his negotiated contract.

But if Seattle low balls him too I could see him signing in Buffalo. I know winning is important but there is a limit to how much you should be expected to leave on the table. I'm on Hall's side on that

 

[HabsAddict]

How many times have we heard...... ""I love it here, i want to sign here." It's just intentional bullcrap so as not to be traded. Which makes it even worse because he doesn't want to win on a contender.

Biggest pile of lying bull pucks was from Corson....who signed with the Leafs.

To me, Hall is turning toxic....

 

[The Red Helmet]

When the announced Hall signed with the Sabres I was pretty excited. I was more excited for this Sabres season than any in awhile. Right now I really don't care what happens with Hall. I really don't see how it's gonna make a difference either way. They Sabres will suck with him or without him.

Looks at the Bills, ya not a Pegula problem.

 

[Le Magnifique 66]

I don't think he would turned down a big contract offer, I guess it's just a matter right now of him wanting to stay there or not!

Insider Trading: What does the future hold for Taylor Hall?

If true, this is a terrible idea for Buffalo. They will be begging teams to take him and skinner very soon

 

[SteveCangialosi123]

Buffalo gonna give him the Skinner deal

 

[Offseason Champs]

Eichel wants out and Hall wants in. Another day in Buffalo it seems.

 

[LongWayDown37]

This just seems like crazytowntalk.

 

[Henkka]

Buffalo gonna give him the Skinner deal

Or maybe more.

 

[mondo3]

Perhaps Hall really likes the city,

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Sabres will regret this so bad

I don't see many teams willing to give him a huge contract anymore besides Sabres

 

[GreeningOil]

Hall is going to sign a 15 year contract and then run to the KHL 2 years in. MARK. MY. WORDS.

 

[the Chad Kilger]

He was traded to buffalo from Washington as part of a deal for Halak right after Miller was sent to St Louis.

Halak+3rd for him and neuvirth

Klesla never reported post trade and went to Europe.

the GM in Washington at the time is now Vegas GM so the make up to this was in the ED in terms of what he took from buffalo.

should have held out for Ryder and a 2nd

 

[Skinnyjimmy08]

Buffalo gonna give him the Skinner deal

The gross thing is that it will end up being even more than Skinners deal probably

 

[Unbiased Fan]

I think hall is still a great player but my god Buffalo needs to gut their roster to dump Skinner.

 

[AvroArrow]

Why tank for 1st overalls when you can just sign Hall ? Joking aside, this makes no sense from either side. Wonder what the cost would be. If Buffalo can get him for cheaper I get it, but if he wants the same kind of money he's getting now, they should pass.

 

[57special]

wth Sabres? You've already done the KO and Skinner deals, and now you want to do another? This is getting to be perverted, and not in a naughty, exciting way.

 

[BLONG7]

I don’t buy it. Hall’s camp is going to use Buffalo as leverage though. Unless he truly just wants to get paid and never contend.

Not to mention Eichel wants out.......so, just don't see this happening at all.
Insiders like Lebrun and Dreger seem to like hearing themselves talk these days...neither seem to be making any sense.

Oh yeah? That's news to me. Where was this stated?

 

[sufferer]

Oh yeah? That's news to me. Where was this stated?

The Rangers inquired hoping to school our rookie GM just like Armstrong did. Part of O'Reilly being available is said to have been that the Sabres would officially become Eichel's team, with him as captain. But now Eichel is magically being made available for pennies on the dollar by the same ownership group that bent over backwards for him from the start.
