Q didn't like him, and he's the coach for the foreseeable future, what are you gonna do?
I think both Haula and Wallmark have played better than Tro was playing this year. 3C and 4C ideally. CannBorg finally claim that 2C spot next year? Or put Haula 2C and Borg 3C.
I really don't see Haula being here next season. Will probably price himself out of Florida.

Haula is not a 2C and we don't even know if Borgstrom is NHL ready.
Aside from the expansion draft trade, no doubt about it. Trocheck is making 6.25 million in 2022 and was less productive this year than Bolland in 2015. Absolute nightmare for Carolina. The fact they threw in Wallmark and Florida didnt have to retain salary, I honestly wonder what their scouts were doing.I still can’t believe how awesome this trade was.
Tallon sucks at drafting, free agency, expansion draft, etc. But he sure can trade.

Haula is passable as a 2C.
Most definitely not but then again everything is possible in the Pantherland.
Well as a short term solution he is. What's your answer? Look at the market for top 6 centers this offseason, it's pretty barren. Plus it seems like ownership doesn't want to spend money right now, so there aren't many options.
The most probable scenario is that the Cats enter the 20-21 campaign with Barkov, Borgstrom, Saarela and Wallmark in the middle. It's risky but it's not like handing out big contracts to mercs have been a good strategy so far. However, there always a possibility for a trade, like helping out STL with signing Pietro e.g. Perron + Bozak (2mil retained) + 6th round pick for Saarela + Hunt + 2nd round pick. imo Saarela is already on par with Bozak so any such trade ends up being more of finding replacements for Hoff and Dadonov.
I mean, Haula played top 6 in Vegas when they made the finals but I guess that doesn't count?Haula is TRASH and needs to never suit up for this team again. You don’t win in this league with guys like him in the top six. The Cats need strong defense and a second line center, somehow, to actually compete next year. With our cap situation I don’t see this problems being rectified in one offseason.

Whoever that version of Haula was has not shown up in Florida and likely never will. We’ve seen enough to know this player isn’t going to work here, especially as a second line center

He played 7 games plus the 4 summer playoff games! You could have a solid career in scouting if you can make such statements based on a sample size like that. He's good on faceoffs and not a liability, so I would like to see more of him if possible. There's no reason to assume that the Panthers would be his first choice as a UFA though.Whoever that version of Haula was has not shown up in Florida and likely never will.

It will sting a bit when he turns out to be a useful player for Ottawa and our RW depth chart is Connolly-Vatrano-Acciari-Sceviour, but I guess you need more defense potential to fit in the bottom 6 of Q's depth chart.I was talking about Hawryluk though. He definitely showed urgency, Q just didn't like his game for whatever reason. No point keeping a guy the coach isn't gonna play.
