Was just gonna say that Rakell always lit us up. Always seems to play great against Edmonton, maybe he was just auditioning :p

That attempted spear after the linesman comes along is pretty cheap. Typical for a Flames player.

Richard Rakell: A young girl’s strange erotic journey from Milan to Minsk

This is the year to give up a first rd pick to improve the team. Probably the easiest road ever to the final 4, and not much scouting opportunity this year make the draft a real crap shoot more then ever. Don't think you can get a goalie during the season, gibson is a pipe dream, but would Kenny move futures for Forsberg, Rakell, maybe Hall or another top line winger

Sign me up for Rakell for sure. Drops Nuge down a line and puts a righty with a one timer in his spot on the pp.

I really don't know why, but that little spear in the end and the way Manguypony whipped the blade of his stick up and away reminded me of this one Dave Chappelle scene in "Blue Streak".

Man, I loved Hall when he was an Oiler and he had a couple great years in New Jersey. But this one year 8 mil deal in Buffalo could end up costing him a lot of money long term. I guess we don't really know what sort of offers were on the table for him. Maybe he took the most money. But boy has it been a miserable start for the Sabres. Eichel and Hall with 3 goals between them so far yikes. Wonder what kind of a deal he's getting if this type of year continues.

With Covid and cap issues you look out for yourself. Take as much as you can get from whoever cause your only a puck to the eye away from being done

Hall is great value compared to Jeff Skinner 10 times his point total and $1 Million cheaper or compared to Kyle Okposo who he has infinitely more production than for just $2M more.

He took the money for a year instead of a lower multi-year offer from a better team. Looks like it was a big mistake.
That Skinner contract is truly horrifying to think about.

He could have took home more money right away signing 2/3 years if he wanted, but he bet on himself.
So far, he has lost that bet lol. I would tell you that nobody in their right mind won't give him 8 again, but there always idiots out there who can't control themselves.
I like Hall, but he has shown that his MVP, participation award basically, was an anomoly.
I don't feel sorry whatsoever for Buffalo. Idiots. I can't believe some of the contracts they gave out.

Wasn't many teams with space, not sure who he would have signed with for those 2/3 years
Hall said he loves edmonton, so maybe after the season's done, we offer him $1mill? And at the same time we keep Larsson. That means all these years, we gained Larsson without losing any assets.
No it wasn't. He can take another 8million dollar one year deal next season. Then season after, take a one year 6mill deal. So 8 for 2020-2021, 7-8 for 2021-2022, then 6mill for 2022-2023, 5 mill for 2023-2024. So basically keep taking one year deals. 8+7+6+5 beats taking a 4 year 6 million deal. And best part about this is that you can hop around different teams and collect different types of jerseys in the process.

And last year was the year to give away a 2nd for AA. How did that go?
Now let's go dump that 1st for some junk, and if that's not going to work, next season, let's double down and give away 2 1st round picks.
When that AA trade happened last year, I was first to curse that trade. We stand pat and do nothing this season. Bank on Bouchard and JP to learn fast and contribute.

Hall will be traded at the deadline for a 1st plus so there is that from Buffalo's perspective. That's something the Oilers never did very well while they were very bad, sign useful vets that they could move at the trade deadline for assets.
I like Rakell as a trade target. He's a shooter who can play any of the forward spots.

They can't really buyout that contract for almost 3 more years because there's a 7.5 mil signing bonus in 2022-23, even after that, there's a year of a 6.5mil cap hit if they were to buy him out then.

Lol. Isn’t Hall sitting somewhere north of $40,000,000 for career earnings? So long as he hasn’t been a total ass, he could make more with some of his cash sitting in a 2% GIC than most of us will make this year.
