Frickin jabroni is on pace for exactly 0 assists tho bruh!
Edm fan chiming in.
Hall wasn't or isn't a cancer.
He's a young kid who occasionally went to clubs and was crucified at times for doing what 21-24 year olds do.. because the team was bad.
The leadership and veteran support was so poor or nonexistant that Hall was thrust into that position. And no surprise - with Edmonton being the dumpster fire that it was, Hall was often singled out for not being a strong veteran presence.
It didn't help that Hall was gifted preferential treatment from management from day 1. The way management treated him likely caused issues but I don't think he was at fault.
And yes even the biggest Hall detractor will admit he goes balls to the wall 110% each shift. He can carry a line himself, and is an elite talent.
He got really noticably agitated at times.
The guy plays with a ton of emotion, and he takes losses personally.
Which can be good...
... but in the case of the Oilers, the mental makeup of the team was so frail and lacked any semblance of confidence Hall's scorn was devastating.
Richard Panik??
He plays top line minutes for the Hawks.
Who's he playing with Kane and Panarin? I mean I could score that many goals playing with those two.

Agree, Panik doesn't count. Hall is 2nd.
A Tampa Bay Lightning throw away that is having a random hot start.
Anyways. Hall is looking better and better. I count at least 3 or 4 tap in assists that he should've had too.

Panik is shooting like 60% this year lol that obviously isn't keeping up
Watch Panik dish a hatter vs us Friday night.
TB is so deep at forward in recently years that they could shed young/talented forwards like Panik (CHI) and Jonathan Marchessault (FLA).
