Taylor Hall Thread | MOD Warning in OP

[joestevens29]

He hasnt played any games since being traded so what else are reporters suppose to ask him\Subban and Weber? Its going to come up every time until these guys have something else to talk about.

This is the same as when penner lost weight. Every tom dick and harry felt the need to ask the question the was beating a dead horse. Too much living in the past, time to start looking forward.

 

[McPuritania]

These rumours, and proposals, are very interesting.

 

[Jumptheshark]

Except they're doing the same thing with McDavid so...

are hall and mcdavid the same player?

Did the media embarrass themselves when oilers won the hall lotto?

Mcdavid came in with the Hype of Crosby and Mario

Hall didnt

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

I disagree. The Devils were not a team deep in defense even before the Larsson trade. It was a Greene-Larsson pairing and then a lot of sheltered players. Hall helps their forward core, but he's the only elite player up front. Schneider is a great goalie but Talbot is pretty good himself.

I bet the real stinger for Hall in this one is that he got traded just as our team was about to improve. We'll see how the season goes, but we have a generational talent, and we've improved the team big time this offseason.

It's also the Eastern Conference. Very easy to fall bass ackwards into a playoff spot there. Not so much in the West where the Oilers are MAYBE better than Vancouver.

They embarrassed themselves every year since pronger left.

Oh so what you meant to say earlier was that everyone in the room is equal and no one should get special treatment unless they are super hyped and then it's okay to get handed everything on a silver platter. Gotcha.

 

[McPuritania]

What colour would you like?

 

[McPuritania]

We should give Hall's attitude a PTO. I'd also consider offering a one year deal to McDavid's silver platter. The real question though, is what do you guys think about Hall being dealt???

 

[Young Lions*]

He should feel right at home then.

Well at least people care about our losers. Jersey can ice a winning team and still not sell out their building.

I think a smart color would be that off-white **** color that comes from a chicken.

I think for us, more than any other team, it's all about how the team clicks. If the team clicks, we're a playoff team no question. If it doesn't, like last season, then we're doomed. Our biggest obstacle is ourselves, a lot more than it is other teams. We have so much talent that if it gets going it can't be denied. I believe that the moves done this offseason have given our talent the supporting players they need. Progression can occur in leaps instead of steps, and we totally have the kind of team that would progress in leaps (or not at all).

and btw, imo Vancouver will be very good this year. Eriksson looks great with the Sedins in the World Cup. They've done some clever moves this offseason, and are in full win-now mode. They could be this year's Sharks.

All I've got is pink. Sorry, Poundy.

Though granted, anything can happen. The wild card spot in the West was completely up for grabs last year and Anaheim struggled for most of the year.

It was there to be had if the Oilers could ever get their crap together. The year before Calgary made it when they were supposed to be a bottom 3-4 team.

 

[Oildrum]

Just for the record...

 

[DerpMorg]

We're a better team today than before Hall was traded, so whatever. Good luck in NJ, Hall.

 

[Del Preston]

Don't know where to put this. Hall needs to move on man..

“Just the way everything went down, I still hold a bit of resentment towards them,” said Hall today at the New Jersey Devils training camp.”

I don't really understand what he means by this.

Not being gifted the best arena on the planet and a generational centerman despite doing nothing to show chemistry with him or leadership over a critical season.

The quote is wrong. Hall said he still holds a bit of resentment towards the Oilers.

 

[Zap Brannigan]

likely the exit interviews and what not than go and trade him for a third pairing defender.

classic chiarelli

The key word is resentment. That shouldn't have come out of his mouth in the first place.

Dudes just being honest. He doesn't play for this team anymore. He can say what he wants about this sad sack organization that wasted the first 1/2 dozen years of his career.

6M/yr and being the biggest star in Edmonton for those years. Could be worse that's all I'm saying.

Of course it could be worse. He could not be a millionaire playing hockey for a living. But the dude is clearly a passionate guy and was 100% invested in this team and city. Hall wore his heart on his sleeve the entire time he was here. I'm not sure why anyone would expect anything different now that he's gone.

They've paid his salary. You are always entitled to complain but I am not sure his reasons are really valid (imo).
