Hall sucks on big ice...
And his injury cost him what little chance he had at making the team.
I don't think we have a strong enough sample size to conclude "Hall sucks on big ice"
Him and Duchene flat out don't work together because they both want the puck through the neutral zone. Even with Hall playing amongst the least minutes on the entire team he still put more shots on net per 60 than anyone not named Stamkos.
I don't think that's a fair statement at all.
Not really. Monahan will develop into a much better player than Hall whose career will be over in a few years because he can't keep his head up. Only Oiler fans are putting Hall as a candidate for team Canada, there are much more deserving players that won't make the team than Hall.
Are you ignoring last season when Hall finished top-10 in scoring and took maybe 2 big hits the entire year?
He "learned to keep his head up" last year, came in this season and he got rocked a few times early in the year but seems to have fixed that again. I think he gets it, he just needs to constantly remind himself so he doesn't revert back to his old habits.
He even said in an interview that he "changed his skating style so he's standing more straight up" he said it "gives him a better view of the ice and helps with decision making"
He knows, he gets it.
As for Monahan being better than Hall we'll see I guess, Hall is very dynamic and has already been a top-10 scorer at the age of 21 so you're setting the bar extremely high for Monahan.
