I don't know how any team would pay him more than 3x5 right now and I don't know how he would accept that.

Maybe that's what the Hall camp wants, Buffalo will take whatever for him right now and I doubt any GM is crazy enough to extend him right now. I can't see any owners allowing their GM to do so.

6yx3m sounds about right with what he's shown so far this year.

Who would want Hall with term? Seems crazy.

I could see the Flames doing it since they have an obsession with former Oilers and will have a hole at LW if they deal Gaudreau. Hall also grew up in Calgary. Not saying it's a great or even smart idea, but it sounds like something Treliving would do.

This has sweet Lou all over it. 1st rounder + Brian Bellows for a signed Taylor Hall at 3x7. Then trade a 2nd + Wilde for Palmieri and extend him at 5x5.
$100 mill cap in the offseason he'll whittle down at the expansion draft and before the entry draft by offering 2022-2032 first rounders. Isles will then have 20 players locked in at terms of 5+ years.

My guess would be that this "trade and sign" would be for one extra year. Three years max.
It takes extra time these days to get a player integrated into a team. I would guess there are GMs out there willing to pay a late 1st or 2nd++ but they would want cost certainty for next year too.
Carolina's GM has said they are less interested in rentals and more interested in hockey deals. Hall adding a year or two makes those GMs more interested and it is possible that Hall himself also wants a bit of security.

As soon as I read this title I was thinking "Damnit Poile, don't do it".
Ah yes, I am sure teams are thrilled at the chance to give the Sabres extra value for the privilege of being locked in on Hall with term...

One of the most overrated players in the league. Excellent skills and talent but in his 10 years only 1 great season. I’d take him on my team but I’m not paying astronomical prices for him.
That’s what I was thinking. The only reason to have Buffalo do the signing is to get an 8th year. I can’t see anyone besides Hall that would want that right now.
