Speculation: Taylor Hall on the block?

[LadyStanley]

Have to think it would be 2-4 picks, players, prospects plus 1 or more conditional assets if re-signed.

Guessing they'd be more likely to trade with WC team.

Might be something like Labanc, Heed, Chmelevski plus conditional pick.

Don’t get me excited like that lol. Thought one of the reporters had us linked by the title lol.

I doubt it would even take that much without an extension in place. I’d imagine the EK65 deal but a little less, and EK65 had over a year left on his contract.

I’d guess something like LaBanc + Gregor + 2nd and a conditional third that becomes a second if we make the WCF or a first if he resigns or we make the SCF for hall @ 50%

Only way I move LaBanc is if Hall is going to re-sign 100%. No point moving Labanc if the return is a rental.

Maybe some like Dillon + Chmelevski + picks could work. They could flip Dillon or try to resign him.

 

[one2gamble]

This isn't happening

 

[WTFetus]

Feel like Vlasic or Jones would have to go somewhere to fit Hall in for more than one season.

Also downer, but I don't see Sharks having the assets to get him. The last big "steals" that DW did, the players all had some sort of trade clause (Karlsson, Boyle, Heatley).
Hall has no clause. It would require a Thornton-level of GM incompetence.

 

[stator]

What WTFetus stated above, or barring a player with a significant contract on LTIR. All the pricey contracts that could be traded have either a NMC, or a M-NTC with a 3 team trade list. That's basically a NMC.

Even if Jumbo retires, that's only 1/3rd of Hall's contract.

 

[OrrNumber4]

I imagine that if DW acquires Hall, it will be because, like with Karlsson, he was willing to not tie a lot of assets to the condition of a new contract.

 

[fasterthanlight]

This will never ever happen. But it's DW so I've already bought my Hall stealth jersey

EK65 went for so little because he wouldn’t sign with any team trying to acquire him. It’s been reported that Hall won’t sign until the season is over, so essentially the same thing. He’s going to fetch a high end rental price, not a sign and trade price like Stone.

Better off going after Toffoli.

 

[Jargon]

I think it’s funny how many people say “this will never happen” - have you learned nothing from reading old EK65 trade threads?! THIS IS DW

But yeah it’s likely not going to happen

Is as bad as the silly we don't have the assets to make this trade.

 

[5H4RK5]

I think we are good we have

Try this often due to Burns being a superior skater to Laine

Burns Hertl Sorensen
Labanc Couture Meier
Kane Thornton Karlsson
Clowe Marleau Gregor
We only need one to step up Gambrell, Sumo or Radil if not go after rumored Pageau trade


Vlasic Karlsson
Burns Simek
Dillon Ferraro
Heed

Jones Dell

DW is a wizard, but it is in part BECAUSE of the EK65 trade that Hall to the Sharks won't happen. That trade and subsequent re-signing depleted both our assets and cap space.

Like I said, I don’t think it’ll happen but we DO have assets to trade for an expiring Hall contract: any of Gregor, Chlemevski, Checkhovich, Dillon, some picks, Merkley, hell even Goodrow (you know DW can spin him into a top 6 forward/elite PKer...).

you know, we got Karlsson for Tierney, Norris and Balcers... we have those kind of players available.

Again — unlikely? Sure. Impossible? See: DW’s track record.

 

[OrrNumber4]

To be fair, last I checked Norris and Balcers are looking pretty good.

 

[Alaskanice]

I believe.

What? Did you read before you posted this or is it a joke?

 

[KarlssonsGroin]

i think based on LeBruns speculation, your looking at a trade similar to Stone's where he comes with an extension but the team gives up a prospect like Brannstrom and additional lesser assets.

Based on the main boards, Montreal could be a player for him using Suzuki,

*looks at standings*
*looks at Taylor Hall*
We’re a wildcard team!

If you do it in season, I think something around:

Labanc + Melker (plus)

NJD are one of the worst special teams in the league. Labanc and Karlsson both immediately help on the PP and PK. Labanc, besides the jersey roots, adds value for now and the future. Throw in some picks and prospects, and I think it makes a lot of sense.

The other option to consider would be Timo. I know, I know, he’s great - but is it better to have 10 more years of Timo or 5 of Taylor Hall? I think Hall has the higher ceiling so to speak. He is closer to physical peak, but still young enough, that I don’t expect a decline for at least another 4-5 years. I think NJD would have to add - but Hall is closer to our win now mindset while Timo fits NJD rebuild.

Hall + NJD 1st (Top 10 protected... so next years lol) for Timo + SJS 1st? I don’t think it’s the worst trade we could make.

 

[WSS11]

Nope. We wouldn’t have the cap to re-sign him and we’re already without our 2020 first. I really don’t want us to trade any more first rounders.

 

[JohnnyBerts]

Even though Hall said he wanted to wait until the summer, that's just the status quo response that he's not returning to NJ. Panarin did the same thing but everyone knew he was going to NYC. Hall doesn't have a destination, if a team really wants him and he likes the fit, I'm sure he would sign. I just don't see anyone paying his price tag especially with how his season is going.

 

[themelkman]

Im all over a Hall trade as long as no one important to the future moves. The biggest issue is resigning a guy whos gonna want 11.5
