Player Discussion Taylor Hall II

[Chevalier du Clavier]

Well, that aged well.

Wait, is Jimmy @Godfather?

 

[Chevalier du Clavier]

I don't recall how far along the Bruins and Hall got in negotiations before he signed with Buffalo, but if they talked money and term, both sides know where they stand and it might not deviate much. It sounded like both were comfortable with where they were, except for Hall waiting for Boston to clear space.

Can't be. Godfather actually gets things right and isn't annoying

Taylor Hall since coming to Boston has 8G/6A in 16 games. Over an 82 game season that's good for 41G/31A

 

[BTO]

He’s not getting a million more then Marchand - he and Krejci will be in 6’s

they all will be in that area

I’ve done some thinking of the 2021-2026 Bruins: Bergeron, Pastrnak, Hall, Krejci, Marchand, Rask, Swayman, Grzelcyk, Carlo, Grzelcyk

I expect 2 Cups

Still waiting for the first one you promised us. One this year will do the trick!

I promised 2020 and I was going to get it If not for that meddling pandemic

One year late is acceptable.

 

[Cronuss]

I absolutely love his game. I love the way he skates, the way he stick handles, the way he uses his strength, the fearlessness, the hockey IQ, the passing, shooting, all of it. This kid has a swagger on the ice that I haven't seen in a long time. Please lock him up and don't let him slip away. Get him long term and I may just buy myself a Hall jersey.

 

[DKH]

Ouch

No, just very good at CopyPasting ideas from this site.

What's with these guys and their dogmatic pronouncements? Do they think that get more cred by being emphatic? Why not just say "The way things have gone for Hall lately, I wouldn't be surprised if Curtis Lazar ends up being the better acquisition." I mean, how hard is it to do that? (and yes it's Murph and I know he is not averse to self-inflicted wounds, but still)

"Book it"... what a clown

 

[DKH]

"Book it"... what a clown

The ‘Lazar being better than Hall’ I am fine with from Murphy, but stealing Don Godfather signature ‘book it’ is lame

 

[LouJersey]

is taking 6 for 40 selfish? nope, just like any other player he can take market value as a FA

Taylor Hall seeking contract extension with Boston Bruins, not spotlight, following trade (espn.com)

 

[prizminferno]

The last 2 of a 5 year deal will be brutal because we'll probably be balls deep in a rebuild but extending the window 3 years sounds pretty good. And they can probably get something for him at the deadline in year 4.

I would do it with this week with agent and not say anything till after draft

Agree 100%. its outrageous

I’m sure Vegas, Colorado etc will be hoping Hall reaches UFA & would make a pitch, as he’d be a good fit with either team.

It’s simple, in Boston Hall is a cog in the wheel. He can look ahead and play the next 3-4 years with Bergeron & Krejci, and likely longer with Marchand Pastrnak McAvoy Swayman etc.

Where does Vegas find the money to sign the biggest UFA every season?

Also Hall should not be Colorados priority with Mackinnon, Makar, Landeskog, Kadri, Byram, Saad, all their goalie contracts waiting in the next 1-2 years

I can't see the Bruins paying Hall over 6 tbh.... he's older, has had chronic injuries... he's proven he needs a very good cast around him to even compete for a title....plus you have GM's that said they wouldn't take him... I mean the Caps or Vegas could make a nice fit, just don't think that kind of money is there. he would need to win a Conn Smythe for teams to even consider 6.5 over 5 or 6 IMO.

6M is money average players can get today.

If you’re not willing to pay Hall 6+ we are not going to see talent in Boston for some time

Ouch

No worse than this, but at least this clown admitted he was wrong.

ok bye Taylor. You want a other Backes situation? Pasta and McAvoy getting 20+ combined

 

[BB88]

So start rebuilding after this season then.

Hall is a superior player to 32y Backes.
The term is the key with Hall.

But seriously if 6M is too much for Hall sell everybody and tank for cheap quality contracts.

Superstar money is 10-12M these days.
The comps to old contracts like Marchand and Bergeron drive me crazy, they were signed years ago

The 30+ contracts never really age well but will it really matter 6 years from now?

Going off of percentages Bergerons contract would be 8.12 mill while Marchand would be 6.6 mill.

 

[Jean_Jacket41]

Can't see him getting more than Marchand or Pasta, he's not as good.

5/5.8 per is max I think they offer.

Fantastic point on the window, it pushes it even further with the top 6 locked in.... Need Rask to sign on as well IMO.

5,75-6,25 is the target.

Hall makes this team so much better. No other team has 3 top wingers like Marchand-Pasta-Hall.

I think Bruins are able to get Rask, Hall and Krejci for 18-19M for next year.

Hall 31,25M/5y
Krejci 6M/1y or 11M/2y
Rask 6M/1M

Figure out the rest afterwards and go for another Cup

This isn’t baseball. Can’t happen!

This guy is so lame, can’t believe people follow him.

I don't recall how far along the Bruins and Hall got in negotiations before he signed with Buffalo, but if they talked money and term, both sides know where they stand and it might not deviate much. It sounded like both were comfortable with where they were, except for Hall waiting for Boston to clear space.

Things have changed, but at least they have had dialogue. Just remember, like someone here just wrote, he will be looking to see who his center will be. So basically, it’s a two player signing.

 

[rocketdan9]

Imo it is going to take 7 x 7 . I standby my initial guess

If the Bruins start off at 6m per at 4 or 5 years

and Hall and agent want 8m per x 5 or 6 years

Just come to the middle and lockup a 7 x 7

Sign Krejci to a 2 year 10m dollar extension. He owes the team a hometown discount

Sign Carlo and backup goalie for Swaydog

this should be the priority for the offseason imo
