So yesterday hes going to sign an extension and today hes gone....let this play out. But if Sweeney lets Hall walk and goes into the season with the exact forward core they had at the beginning of last season then he deserves to be canned. Not that he will be...

I don’t know how much stock I put in the five words from a Facebook post citing Freidman that says only, “Thinks Hall goes to market.” Nothing more. No sources, no quotes. The beauty of not signing an extension before the expansion draft is we would not have to protect Hall and could protect an additional player. Hoping hard there is a gentleman’s agreement in place to sign the moment that is possible.

Money usually talks ,yeah he may not go to a team like Buffalo,but I don’t expect him to sign with the Bruins if they aren’t in the ball park of what other teams may offer him ,with dollar amount and length of contract.

If Hall goes on to chase the almighty dollar after being very vocal in his intention to resign then I'll lose all respect for him. But after he chose godawful Buffalo last off-season I wouldn't be surprised in the least...
Edit:
On the other hand, I wonder if he might test the market because management wants to take a run at Landeskog if he hits the market. Probably a pipe dream but who knows...

If Landeskog is going for a long term deal which is what I am assuming, the Bruins would be wise to stay far away from that and resign Hall. Players who play like Landeskog typically don't age well. That being said I am in the camp that Hall is staying with Boston based on what the Bruin insiders have said as well as other information I have heard about Hall, his family and the city of Boston. As for Friedman, he is much more plugged into the Canadian teams then American teams, why has nobody else been saying that Hall is going to test the market.
I honestly don’t think he’s chasing the money this time around. I do however question whether or not he wants to see if he can maximize his term with a team that will be in contention for the majority of the contract. Bruins most likely won’t give him that luxury.

I think the Buffalo money chase is precisely why he won`t do that again

I've been back and forth on what Hall will ultimately decide... But I'm landed on being surprised if he signs anywhere but in Boston. He's been in a lot of bad situations in the last few years, but he just fits with the Bruins. I think that will matter to him and I don't believe the money would be that much better elsewhere regardless.

If Hall isn't back that probably means Krejci isn't back which means .....ugh
Which means we would officially be in panic mode.
Friedman is the only person who is spitballing Hall goes to market. No sources cited, no nothing.
He was doing it for clicks IMO.
Andy Strickland is very well connected and a solid reporter so I trust him more than I trust Friedman at this point.
Unless the Bobfather pops up from his cottage with something similar, I am going to sit back and watch it all play out

I think this signing only makes sense with Krejci, otherwise whatever. I don't want buffalo hall with no center

Friedman is only going off past history of Hall saying one thing and doing another, I don't blame him. I can't see him taking 5-5.5aav over say 7/8aav from another contender, especially if Krejci is still in limbo right now (Hall would know either way).

I doubt Friedman did it for clicks. I'm sure he doesn't need to put out a fake Hall rumor on a radio hit to get them.
The real answer is most likely that he's saying it because it's what Hall's agent wants to be public. It's public posturing/negotiating. Darren Ferris is just trying to get the best deal for his client.

Well when Krejci, Bergeron and Marchand are retired, I do not want a 34 year old Hall here with three more years left on a lottery team and a NMC

That’s the thing would like them to resign Hall but the length of contract is a big concern for me.

I don't know, that sounds like the perfect time to have Hall. That's exactly when they'll need a lottery good luck charm.
I read Freidman's take as speculation. Like he knows teams are interested in Hall, so he thinks Hall will at least hear out offers.
I hope the rumors he signs right after the expansion draft are true. Hall can drive the 2nd line with or without Krejci. Krejci coming back to play with Hall again would be awesome, but in my eyes, Hall is the most important player to bring back.

Let's see how things look when the puck drops. I have very low expectations in this group doing anything but putting the next management team in a good top ten picking spot in 2022
