No iam sure it's still relevant. He certainly cost himself some money this year.

True, but he still has a good chance of being traded to a contender. The buffalo move still confused me when he could've chose elsewhere like here, Nashville, or Colorado.

Who was he second fiddle to in AZ? The 14-goal Kessel?

33 year old, out of shape Phil Kessel has 4 times as many goals as Hallsy
Respect

I mean if you're gonna try to say this kind of nonsense, Kessel has more goals than Eichel (2G) as well.

Even better!
Twice as many goals and Hall and Eichel combined
Mad respect

The only thing I can think (hope) of is that he knew he needed to wait a year before signing here so he took the biggest and shortest deal he could find...

So it must be Hall and Eichel's fault for the Buffalo Sabres being an organizational nightmare then, amirite? If you deny that Hall would help this team, that's just non sense coming out of you. Its not Hall's fault that the sabres suck just the same of it not being Eichel's fault. Also the Oilers have been interested in Eric Staal too, but his 3 goalsssssss right?

 

[Snipes45]

5 months (that's long to you?) ago still doesn't change the fact that he could still be traded here. Also was answering the question in regards to posters wanting clarification for Johnston's comment.

What I don't get is that Hall was offered a contract. He could have been here. He chased the $$. I would take him if he took a discount, that's it.

Exactly. Eichel is garbage with that line of thinking I guess.

Crazy how it’s Never Hall’s fault

Chase the bread and then get traded to a contender for a playoff run is the only way I can view it.
The lack of production and Buffalo being a cesspool taking L's definitely should lower his value making it easier for a trade. We'll see what happens.

I think he thought Buffalo was actually going to take a step this year.

Instead the whole team just sucks.

Hockey careers are short, dont blame him for taking the most money.

Or you know.. the yotes goalies having injury problems during the time Hall arrived. But that doesn't fit your 'Hall sucks' narrative, does it?
Darcy Kuemper, G, Arizona Coyotes
Antti Raanta, G, Arizona Coyotes

Maybe Hall should've played goalie then maybe the yotes goaltending problem wouldn't be an issue, derp.

SO Edmonton not doing much is all McDai's fault too then

 

[Snipes45]

Another 6x6 goalie huh?

Seems to be the new benchmark for the top guys. Only 1.5 more than Kosko lol

 

[fuswald]

When Edmonton looses part blame of course.

See? Not his fault, ever...
For a so-called “line driver”, he not doing much of it

Of course they share in the blame lol

 

[Paralyzer008]

Doug Armstrong...yikes.

This is why you need to draft one goalie a year and scour Europe to find free agents.

Binnington has been less than impressive lately and in the bubble.

Hall and Eichel isn’t the main reason Buffalo sucks. But if you focus only on their line. They’re pretty awful this season. Who do you blame at this point?

It's crazy that this guy was considering retiring a few years ago. Good for him.

 

[oobga]

Avoiding the pandemic paycuts by making the salaries peak in a couple years. Imagine most players will be doing that on their new long term deals.

I am not even saying I would love a Hall back

i try to separate the player from the team. what is he good at? What is he bad at? Does he benefit the team as a low cost rental? Long term wise?

I can't speak to any partying and other crap. I am sure he was like Stoll and Torres and did his share of partying here when he was younger. He still performed.

 

[Cloned]

Target Reinhart from Buffalo, not Hall.

More versatile, younger, less injury prone, can play center, etc.
