I'll give you those points but let's not be too quick to dismiss what we see. If it's so easy to get guys who haven't done anything with the Sabres to suddenly look effective, why hasn't it happened before?
I'm indifferent. But some folks are pointing to his performance with the Avs as proof of...something. Note sure what exactly. I don't recall any howls of doom when he was traded.
You won't let go of this bone. What part of NMC do you not understand? Adams could have done all that, and Hall could still say NO!!!! Then your solution is bench him and get nothing for him? And you rail against Adams for being stupid.
Listening to the Instigators it sounds like Hall was driving the bus because of his NMC. Hall chose Boston. Also the Bjork-Lazar move was a cap swap to fit Hall into the Bruins roster.
