Nicomo Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 Cory Schneider is the only Devils player in the top 50 according to this list: https://www.nhl.com/news/patrick-kane-is-nhl-networks-top-player-in-league/c-281535362 How is Taylor Hall not top 50???

MB3 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Taylor Hall isn't too 50 because he's on the Devils! And the Devils suck! Duh! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 If Taylor Hall was top 50, it would've taken more than Adam Larsson to land him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Devils got Cory Schneider (he's on that list) for the 9th pick in the draft. Adam Larsson was a top 5 pick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nicomo Posted September 6, 2016 Share Posted September 6, 2016 Hall is arguably the 3rd best LW in the league after Ovechkin and Jamie Benn. That's puts him firmly in the top 50 in my book. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They couldn't insure him is what I hear. So failed physical is more...lawyerly sports speak. But he obviously has some miles on his body.

Adam Larsson was a top 5 pick. So what? It's not a poll about draft order, it's a poll about the top 50 players. Schneider was drafted 26th, Larsson was #4. Does that mean Larsson is a better player than Cory? if that's what you think, I'm glad you aren't the GM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No. He's a talented young defenseman that was a top 5 draft pick though. He could end up being better, and that's what Edmonton is hoping for. It's not like the Devils traded a bag of pucks for Hall. Should Edmonton have got more? Probably. What it took to get him doesn't mean he's not a top 50 player though. I'll say it again: Hall is arguably the 3rd best LW in the league after Ovechkin and Jamie Benn. That's puts him firmly in the top 50 in my book.

Zubie#8 Posted September 7, 2016 Share Posted September 7, 2016 Guy is 3rd in even strength pts behind Benn and Crosby in the past few seasons. Definitely a top 50 player.Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pattyelias Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 There are four LWs on that list. Gaudreau, Panarin, Benn and Ovechkin. Pretty debatable that the first two are not better than Hall. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
