Hall has mediocre finishing skills and is a way bigger injury risk than any UFA available. Hall is exactly the type of player you avoid on a long term deal at his age. If Hall wanted to sign a 2 year deal I’d be all for it.For the price he’s asking, he better reproduce all of it and add. No way that’s happening IMO. He won’t even get close, and I’m not talking about years 3-4, I’m talking about year 1 before any physical decline.
And I agree, there’s always talk about we need to get McD or Drai a winger and blah blah blah. Why do we need to do this exactly? They both took turns leading the League, they are so talented we shouldn’t be needing to supplement their offense with a 5-6M contract. If anything we should be putting cheap, high ceiling players next to them so they can make some assets more valuable for us.
what we need is secondary scoring. Someone that can do it without being stapled next to McDrai. That player in Hall in spades. The perfect fit for this team.
Everyone knows this and that’s why Hyman is generating more interest.
