None.Any interest in Kovy for the rest of the year. Hall isn't coming here, Hoffman will not be traded from a contender. Zucker's Wild are still in it. If he takes pennies, I'm OK with that. A contract that will end its value roughly around June 18th.
What about Vanek?Kovy is done. We're not that desperate for players.
Maybe Randy Robitaille or Keith Aucoin is available? If not, there is always Brad Boyes!What about Vanek?
None.
Good, if true.
Jimmy Murphy is a hack. Don’t buy it.
anyway, why is this good. Why in the world
would you not want Hall?
What would it take for hall and to take Ladd? First and two prospects?
If a key piece to the trade is Raanta that makes sense for the Devils
A 30 year old goalie shouldn’t be the center piece of a trade involving their star player. It should be young prospects/roster player. Blackwood is their future in goal anyway
For a rental it’s a good piece
I'm wondering if the extra time is some team negotiating a long term contract.
From the main board:
Per Hockey Night Hotstove: Coyotes the front runner. Believed their top 2 prospects are NOT part of the offer. Hanging over Bahl. Believed Coyotes were the first to make a formal offer, and Devils have tried to up it with other teams and struggled. They have not given any teams permission to speak with Hall.
I am souring on Hall. I am not positive on an 8 year deal he would be a great fit here for the entirety of that contract. I would have given the contract to Stone or Panarin as well.
Letting him talk to other teams delays the process, he's going UFAFrom the main board:

Not letting Hall talk to teams about a contract guarantees a depressed return. Arizona haggling over Bahl tells you all you need to know.
