If a guy has a good negotiating position, you have to deal with him differently than the worst guy in your roster. It’s just facts. That’s not “playing favorites”, it’s having common sense. I disagree completely. If you have a guy that you trust and has given you no reason to think will leave you high and dry, you take the gentlemanly route to the process. If you have a guy that is going behind your back and signing in other league to try and force your hand you call them out on their bullsh!t. That is not playing favorites, it's having common....wait..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mfitz804 Posted September 9, 2019 Share Posted September 9, 2019 I dont think Hall is jerking him around at all. But if he was, he’d have a longer leash. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Song is ear cancer, I'd rather try to climb into the rafters and cut every speaker wire than to have to listen to that crap several times a night. Also.... I don't think he's signing anyway so might as well not pick a song that we'll have to change when he's gone before the end of the season.

Devilsfan118 Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Probably late to the party on this, but I just realized Hall is represented by Marner's agent. So.. feeling less hopeful now. Feel like Hall will be advised to get to 7/1 no matter what. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SterioDesign Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 Every season it seems like most holdouts or wtv are all from the same agents. i remember around the same time shea weber, parise, subban etc etc were the ones giving trouble to their teams and it was all the same agent Now this dude Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted September 10, 2019 Share Posted September 10, 2019 (edited) Imma take a leap here...I think Hall signs before the end of the month. If I'm Ray, I'm thinking to myself, I have a shot at pulling off the holy grail of GMing...the perfect offseason...and that requires Hall signing. Ray is a fvcking psychopath in the best way, and I gotta think he wants to complete the GM version of the 27 up, 27 down game.

Antiquated Colorado Rockie Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 Well now that the Zacha domino has fallen I'd expect Hall to sign in short order .. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neb00rs Posted September 11, 2019 Share Posted September 11, 2019 (edited) Don't get me wrong. Hall loves Canada, I think if he had the opportunity he'd love to play for Toronto. But he's a bright guy, he knows what's up. I imagine the situation he's in re: negotiations with Ray is very reminiscent of the phone call scene from Catch Me if You Can, where Leo's character (Hall) pretends to be thinking about going to July 1st and Tom Hanks' character (Ray Shero) is just like, "You have no one else to call"...or in this case, "Nowhere else to go." NJ is Hall's best bet, he's bound to recognize that. Edited September 11, 2019 by Neb00rs 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Neb00rs Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 In case anyone missed Hall's interview today, he said that Ray has not yet spoken to him about a contract and that he's willing to talk if Ray wants to. But, he was also a bit cagey in the interview, regarding that subject. See for yourself: 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Devils Pride 26 Posted September 12, 2019 Share Posted September 12, 2019 Fvck him. If he wanted to be here I think he would’ve got something done. There’s no way thy haven’t talked. i don’t care whether they are first or last. At the deadline if he doesn’t sign, they HAVE to trade him. Acquire assets, even if the sum doesn’t equal a player of Hall’s caliber. We’ve been in the wilderness far too long to make the same mistakes we’ve done in the past. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shero has a date in mind of when a decision needs to be made. As the poster above mentioned, shero won't beg him to stay, and from a few days ago said that after a certain point talking about halls situation won't happen anymore. I'm sure shero has, or is working on a plan b should he need it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If we are somehow first place overall in the league heading into the trade deadline or even first in the division we aren't trading Hall and I'd be absolutely pissed if we did. I would absolutely take a legit shot at the cup over some possible players who might be good in the future. If we are a bubble team or out of the playoffs then yeah absolutely trade him. I like Hall and I hope he stays but I'm not going to be mad at him yet until this all done.....I'm more pissed off at him for tweeting to vote for that horrid hip hop horray song lol 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If he doesn't want to re-sign anyway, and we're not only competitive but we're in first place, let's let him use us as a springboard to a huge contract while we use him toward winning a Cup. It's only fair if everyone gets used. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
