Speculation: If the Coyotes continue to fall, will Hall be Traded again?

[Perfect_Drug]

Obviously the tailspin down the standings is directly correlated to the injury to Kuemper.

But if you guys are sitting on the outside before Feb 24th, will Hall be shipped out to recoup some value?


Is this at all a possibility?

Eklund rumors all ready speculation on it. Granted that ain't worth much.

 

[andora]

Is he planning on re-signing? they have to know by now or have an idea if he will consider re-signing. if he is / will - you keep him

So it's confirmed then that the Coyotes sign Hall long term

The Coyotes are not playing well right now. Losing face by having to trade Hall would be awful, but not as awful as going into the draft without a 1st. I'd imagine they try to recoup their first if things don't improve. The team is 2-5-3 through the last 10.

Considering the Hall affect on the Coyotes would any playoff team be willing to give up their first fir him?

Someone will I am sure.

Considering he wouldn't re-sign with the Devils due to not being in a playoff position, I don't imagine he'd be thrilled about signing a retirement contract on a team outside of the playoffs.

Ya I'd be inclined to quietly shop him and see if they can get back some of their cost in him. If someone is willing to pay a ransom and your out at the deadline by more then 4 points or so it's pretty much a done deal to move him.

 

[The Red Line]

Its a tough situation. Doesn't look good on the organization at all if they trade him so soon. But it will look waaay way worse if they lose him for nothing in the offseason.

They should prioritize re-signing him. They need to end the perpetual rebuild and let some kind of identity take form.

This is his first photo as a Coyote....you be the judge.

 

[Hawkaholic]

Not sure what the Coyotes were thinking really.

Why would Hall sign early and not test free agency?
Why would a team add an unsigned UFA for futures when they clearly aren't a contender?

 

[Fatass]

Someone will I am sure.

Maybe, but who? Chemistry is really important, and a first is a lot to give up to risk Hall affecting a team’s. IMO the Coyotes would be smarter to extend Hall.

I just don't see Hall re-signing, especially if the team misses the playoffs. If Hall wanted to stay on a struggling team, why didn't he just stay in new jersey? Hall also seems like he wants to weigh his options. I don't see him signing anywhere before free agency, unless he targets a team he really wants to play for.

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Unless there is something he's loving about the lifestyle in sunny Arizona, I guess. It's probably "nicer" than New Jersey or most of the rest of the league just in terms of external surroundings. Depending on what you like. But the Cali teams aren't doing great either and the Florida teams are kinda already set?

Detroit should be all over this if true. Wouldn't risk LA stepping in and stealing the 1OA.

Explain please.

 

[Eltuna]

Pretty tough situation as he has played really well for them. You also don’t want to be in a situation where Hall has all the negotiation power, this could be another Skinner situation where the team feels compelled to keep him to save face and immediately ends up with an albatross. I can not see Hall staying unless the offer is huge which will become a bad decision quite quickly.

Oh I agree. I should have added at the end of my post that if I'm Hall there's no way I don't test FA this summer. I just think the Yotes should try to do all they can to keep him, though that seems unlikely.

Last place has a 18% chance to win and a 82% chance to lose #1 OA. Sens actually have a equal shot as the Wings with their pick and the Sharks.

Back to Edmonton e5

 

[IslandersFan17]

Since Eklund jumped in on this, you know hes staying put.

 

[Cogburn]

Arizona hasn't been that bad. They've slipped in the standings, but their not out of the conversation. Calgary, Edmonton, Vancouver and Vegas have all been on a tear of late.

No one should ever be untouchable, but I don't think these doom prophecies hold water when you look at a lot of the details of what's happened this season.

Even if they made the playoffs, he likely goes to July and explores his options. Coyotes tried a Blue Jackets from last year but might miss the playoffs. Middle of the pack teams should never go all in on rentals like this.

Explain please.

Whatever team Hall is on will win the draft lottery. So he is joking that teams at the bottom of the standings should be fighting over him to be able to get the 1OA pick.
