Blackhawk Down
f***ing blockbuster. Fine with a third for Hall. Mostly flash, little substance.
100%Unless there's a follow-up trade with Colorado, I don't know why Kyle is wasting his time doing favors for other teams
With all the problems this team has, get your priorities straight
Nobody gives a shit about a 3rd round pick in what's probably going to be a historically bad draft class
He's a forty point all offense winger that doesn't make anyone else better. I wouldn't trade anything for him.Hall's value is as a rental.
Teams pay the portion of his contract. He could play or even LTIR or slot for an LTIR guy depending on the situation then he's off the books come summer. This is why the Hawks historically overpaid rentals at the deadline.
If you're gunning for a run you could have a Hall on the books to slot in for any plug playing or any injured player come postseason. He's an upgrade to many depth players.
Given he can get you goals and some nice plays against any competition it's a good rental gamble to make. The fact that this is turned into "Hall isn't that good" or "he makes 6 million" is silly. Rentals are overvalued for a reason.
All this for a 3rd plus retention? GM's set the market, there's only 30+ teams.
I don't see any reason to not wait if this is the return in January. And, it's not like this is the end of the world, it's just a middling move that doesn't seem like it needed to be made given the conditions.
Is it Landon Slaggert time?It's pretty much an early 3rd for Hall.
Meh.
Opens up a roster spot for a kid, I guess.
League sources are confused on why we took on Rantanen's salary when we probably could've gotten a 3rd just for Hall.
Unless Davidson is doing Colorado a favor tonight while these two flesh out a Jones trade, it's a bad move by us.
That's what I'm thinking. Davidson did a solid for the Avs while things get hashed out with regards to whatever deal seems to be in the works between us and them (please let it be Seth Jones related!).Pretty sure he didn’t go to Colorado for nothing.
Feels like more is set in motion here. Avs scouting us tonight too. Definitely another deal of some sorts down the line.
As far as Hall, happy we dealt him to open up a spot. The Hawks have a glut of mediocre aging forwards with short term deals.
Maybe.100%
Is it possible, Seth Jones goes to Colorado?
After doing a solid for Colorado, there should be no retention on JonesThat's what I'm thinking. Davidson did a solid for the Avs while things get hashed out with regards to whatever deal seems to be in the works between us and them (please let it be Seth Jones related!).

I'm thinking they just wanted Hall gone.
Like trading a second to move up two spots in April when the draft is in JuneHall's value is as a rental.

Hall is not good.We retain on Rants and trade hall for a f***ing third I don’t care that is f***ing terrible
It sets up another move until it doesn’t happen which happens often in this league… Hawks did a massive favor for no reason right now.Pretty sure he didn’t go to Colorado for nothing.

Because they want me to look good obviously.I didn’t realize it our was our 3rd. Why wouldn’t they mention that on tv? Much better than I thought.
Who cares?Hawks getting an "F" from Athletic or whatever just feels goofy. They essentially traded Hall and a retention spot I doubt they'd fill otherwise for a high 3rd. Give them like a C- or something if you think they didn't maximize value or whatever but an "F" as though they just dumped a franchise cornerstone for salary cap relief is just being nonsensical.
No one I suppose but it’s directly relevant to thread topicWho cares?
