Arizona obviously making a splash.  To much for Hall?

[Thorner]

It’s a lot for a rental

The conditions on the 2021 pick are as follows: the third-round pick in 2021 becomes a second-round selection if Arizona wins a Stanley Cup Playoff round OR Taylor Hall re-signs in Arizona. The third-round pick in 2021 becomes a first-round selection if Arizona wins a Stanley Cup Playoff round AND Taylor Hall re-signs in Arizona. If neither condition happens, New Jersey still receives the 2021 third-round pick.

Another one too slow on the draw for Brawndo.  He had the call a 1/2 hour earlier in the Around the NHL Thread.

So if this were the Sabres that package would look something like:

Rasmus Asplund

Oskari Laukkanen (sp?)

Will Borgen

Plus a 1st and a conditional 3rd 

 

Yuck.  

 

[Huckleberry]

I'm with ink on this one, seems like paying a lot for a rental.

[GASabresIUFAN]

Maybe they got good indications from Hall's agent that he'd be open to staying if things go well.

The conditional third is a second if you sign him.

If you sign him and win a playoff series its a first.

Super yuck.

Yeah, I don’t think Arizona’s prospects are that good. Only Bahl is considered a second tier prospect.

 

In the end, it’s a top 3 protected pick and Bahl for a rental that you get for more then half of a season. That’s pretty cheap if you ask me. The fact that he plays mostly left wing, there is no money coming back and Shero probable wanted him out west is reason Sabre’s wouldn’t have been on this.

Yotes win this one big.  They get the best player in the deal AND they get the #1 overall in the draft.

Straight up robbery by Chayka.

[Weave]

I keep reading the thread title as, Hail, Arizona!

[miles]

i dont understand why they dont make the trade conditional on 48 hours of contract negotiations to see if they can sign multi-year deal. if they cant, the deal doesnt go through. that would (could) drive up the price

[bunomatic]

Quantity over quality ?

Keep reading it as "H-E-double hockey sticks is Arizona."

 Which is strange, because CLEARLY that title belongs to Houston.  (Apologies to JSB on that.)

[Randall Flagg]

I wouldn't have given that up for Hall. But I don't think it's an unfair deal either way. 

Yotes are interesting but don't have centers

Don't see that at all. Obviously they are all in on making the playoffs this year, but that's a stiff price on a rental. There was a rumor that the Bruins were close offering Vakanainen, Moore and their first rounder. I'd get something like that as they are all in now and will fall apart as that core gets closer and closer to being over the hill but the Yotes (like us) should be thinking longer term. I certainly wouldn't have done the proposed Sabres equivalent above.

Devils are picking up half his remaining salary, if that's what you were referring to.

[klos1963]

Coyotes needed scoring. They have 2 excellent goalies, strong defense and speed. If Hall plays up to his capabilities and Kessel gets untracked, they are a legitimate contender. It's a great deal, They didn't give up their top prospects either.
