mfitz804 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) This deal is as expected. Those who thought we were getting someone's top defensive prospect for a rental player were totally off the wall. EDIT: didn't think we'd have to retain salary, but all things considered, we don't give a fvck about salary.

I guess we're all coyotes fans now. maybe they have a deep run this year and convince Hall to re-sign and suddenly we've got two first-round picks for him.

SterioDesign Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Ultimately, Hall getting hurt last season AND not being willing to re-sign with us AND not willing to negotiate an extension with a team cause he wants to test the market is what really fvcked Shero over. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He’s had 3 years in his entire career where he’s performed like a top-20 player in the sport, and he’s dead-set on becoming an unrestricted free agent in July. its a first round pick, a BIG body defenseman who might not fvcking suck, two “who knows” prospects and a 3rd, likely 2nd, possibly first round pick. thats a good return, regardless of how grumpy you want to be. No, but Ottawa got a better return for a Karlsson glorified rental. A Big Body D-man who might turn into a 3rd pairing D-man. Great, Mirco Mueller 2.0. Two "who knows" prospects? Hey, we got that out the ass up in Bing. The first rounder is the only thing to be happy about. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Satans Hockey Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Glad this nonsense is over, I was sick of Hall after the nonsense with him whining about the fans. This team sucked with or without him so it's not like it's going to make much of a difference anyway. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chimaira_Devil_#9 Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Bahl is on the same team as Mitchel Hoelscher who the Devil's drafted in 2018 and Nikita Othotyuk in 2019, so they have probably seen a lot of him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably won’t be. Karlsson was fvcking infinitely more valuable than Taylor hall at the time of the trade — he was an undisputed top-2 defenseman IN THE ENTIRE LEAGUE. He also made it clear he’d be amenable to an extension — something Taylor likely did not do. im not throwing any parades but I’m glad it’s over and I hope they pan out. How many years are we going to waste on prospects and maybe's? We have been doing that for the past 6 years now. There has to be a light at the end of the tunnel where some of these prospects and picks actually turn into useful players and not constantly play the slot machine. Karlsson also had injury issues and there were some whispers at the time he was done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crisis Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) The Senators got a top prospect (Brannstrom), a player who is no longer in the NHL (Oscar Lindberg), and a 2nd for Stone WITH an extensions and a different Lindberg. No first rounder. This is what you get for a Hall rental. Not sure what else you could reasonably expect.

PLUS a 3rd round pick... that could easily become a 2nd, and possibly even another 1st. For a rental. If we couldn't sign Hall... I'll take it. Am I super happy? No. I'd rather have Hall resigned.

Guadana Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 Next draft will be one of the best in 10 years. We still have bright new first round pick and d-prospect(something + for our big nothing) who will play in wjc. Schnarr was good in OHL. Its not the best trade ever for rental player, but its something more than we were used to. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 (edited) I mean this was always what it was going to be - something like the Duchene return. Except Ray got three prospects instead of two and a guaranteed third round pick. If you're being reasonable, Ray did just fine.The Devils were the sellers, they had the star player on the expiring contract, they needed to make the trade. And they probably to some degree limited the market a bit further by trading him so early on (though I get the thinking there). Not sure anything ever becomes of Schnarr and Merkley. The latter hits me as having Blandisi-type trajectory. The Devils negotiated hard to get the best out of this they could - I'm sure they asked for Prosvetov, but like I said the other day, I didn't think it was likely Ray could pull that off - at least not without changing the entire dynamic of the trade. Bahl ain't a bad return, he's going to at least get a chance to play in the NHL at some point and he's a big physical guy who's a good skater given his size. There's all of zero chance the Devils are getting the extra first, but the 2020 first round pick could end up being mid-round if we get lucky and Arizona slides and the third helps us fill out picks we lost this past offseason. Ultimately, the Devils needed the assortment of prospects and picks to restock their system. Yeah, prospects often don't ever make it as NHL regulars but when you're on the verge of losing several key veterans and you just lost 50% of your offense, you have to start stocking up and playing the percentage game.

Daniel Posted December 16, 2019 Share Posted December 16, 2019 As far as anything that matters is concerned, we got a first rounder and Bahl. Merkely is a former first rounder who has not been able to crack a non-playoff NHL lineup since he was drafted in 2015. Schnarr has one goal in 22 AHL games. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
