LeBrun: What options do the Devils have with Taylor Hall — and who could swing a trade?
LeBrun: What options do the Devils have with Taylor Hall —...
“• San Jose: Really, I just don’t know that the Sharks can get into it. To start, Ottawa owns their first-round pick courtesy of the Erik Karlsson trade. I don’t know if a 2021 first-round pick would cut it, and does it make any sense for San Jose to trade away another one? But I can’t help but list the Sharks even as an outlier because GM Doug Wilson loves big-game hunting.“
Some other interesting tidbits from the article is that Pierre could see the Devils retaining salary to open up more options for a potential Hall trade. He also mentions the Stone deal from last year as a good comp for a potential Hall deal (as I’ve been previously speculating).

Hasn't Hall said he won't sign until after the season though? Stone already had a deal worked out before he was traded. I'd expect more of an EK deal than a Stone deal. More quantity than quality.
But karlsson had 1 year left on his deal and was dealt during training camp.
Unless something changes at the deadline, hall will be seen strictly as a rental.

Meier and Jones for Hall with the same level of confidence he’ll sign as we had with Karlsson when he was acquired, who says no?

That would be pretty awful for us

I don’t think it’d be straight up because signed Meier has more value than Hall as a pending UFA. Perhaps sending a cap dump or 2 the other way. I don’t think it’d be an awful trade when you’re getting the best player in the deal. Trading Meier would free up space to sign Hall. The Sharks could really use a dynamic game breaking forward in their top 6.

Yeah but trading Meier means that we still keep the hole in the top six, and not give ourselves anyway to fill it with Hall making 11.5 mil next year
It wouldn't happen at all because there's no way that DW moves Meier for a rental even if he's confident in signing him. New Jersey has no leverage for such an ask and they have no adds that truly make up for that to go with the risk of renting Hall at such a high price. If the Sharks get Hall, it's going to be at the cost of someone like Merkley or Chekhovich or Chmelevski and other futures with some cap going the other way in some combination of Dillon, Karlsson, and some other cheap contracts like Heed or Radil or whatever. It's like a 2 or 3% chance of happening but that's what it would look like.
The Stone comp is not a good one if Hall has told everyone involved that he's not looking to sign an extension until the off-season. And he got Brannstrom, a plug, and a 2nd. I'd expect a Sharks deal to look something like Hall@50% and Domingue for Dell, Dillon, Merkley, and a '21 1st. Either that will save them a million off the cap to use elsewhere or they would lighten up on the retention for Hall and have his cap hit be like 4 mil.
I do expect that to get beat though so I'm not putting too much hope into this idea. lol
The Sharks should be staying far away from Hall. I honestly have zero interest in his services on this team.
He'll be turning 29 next year, is a bandaid who has played 70+ games only 4 times in his career. He has cleared 80+ points twice and 30 goals all of once, and it is probably just me, but I'm not a fan of his game style either, at all.
He's going to get drastically over paid...

I think I do to be honest.Meier and Jones for Hall with the same level of confidence he’ll sign as we had with Karlsson when he was acquired, who says no?
I more or less agree but if they can get him cheap as a rental, he'd be a good add for the team this year. I don't particularly want to invest into him any term but as a rental, I think he'd be an excellent playoff player for this team.
More importantly, Martin Jones likely says no and I have heavy doubts that NJ is on his three team list. If I had to guess, Jones' three team list is Vancouver, Edmonton, and Calgary. lol

Put me in the camp of not wanting to move Meier. The kid is going to keep getting better and better and will likely win the RR if we end up moving him.
That's what I'm saying. I'm saying I think he goes for less than Stone because that was for him extended and I don't think that'll be a good comparable for Hall

there is no way he goes for as much as stone unless hes signed
im going with
1st rounder and two B prospects or a prospect and a middle 6 forward at the deadline

1. Nobody wants to move Meier.
2. “Likely win” a Rocket Richard? You’re kidding yourself.

I agree completely and would add the players the sharks should be going after are more physical players AKA power forwards that are not injury prone.
I think they're good for power forward type players assuming Meier continues to progress. I'd like to see a shifty, speedy, game breaker added to the top 6. An ankle breaker. Kind of like adding a deep threat in football so your running back has more room. Hall fits the bill but I'm not sold that he's at all realistic.
