Nicomo 2,945 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??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kinkyisth3b3st 3,608 Posted September 6, 2016 Taylor Hall isn't too 50 because he's on the Devils! And the Devils suck! Duh! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mfitz804 6,031 Posted September 6, 2016 If Taylor Hall was top 50, it would've taken more than Adam Larsson to land him. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nicomo 2,945 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does that mean Larsson is a better player than Cory? if that's what you think, I'm glad you aren't the GM. Right now? 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. Edited September 6, 2016 by Nicomo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You didn't recognize the sarcasm in my post. They really need a font or special punctuation to indicate that. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Zubie#8 193 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
pattyelias 37 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 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
