Oh No! How will we ever hold on to our draft dynasty without Hall? He was a real foot-soldier for us in our war to win draft lotteries, wasn't he? Culture change. Was always overrated from the outside by carefully plucked statistics. Won't be missed by me, and hopefully not by many others for long.

This is, and may well be the best trade in the long run. I've listened to all the knocks on Yakapov and Eberle but not once did anyone express the dismay of Taylor's lack of finish around the net per attempt or the poor chemistry of the team. This made the trade palatable! You have to give something to get something and although we all appreciate his talent, Hall just didn't fit in from day one. If you go by his numbers alone, it's easy to see why we have all been lulled into this non-winning team's rut. Great numbers....still poor fit. Let's admit that and move forward!

PC makes MacT look like a genius. Worst trade in last 10 years.
