Hall = Parise Lite? Are you crazy? Not in playing style at all friend. Two very different styles of play.

Yeah, it is just their way of lessening the pain.
Flames fans suffer from Vegeta syndrome.
Vegeta syndrome is : When a person believes he/she is as great as another person because they are from the same race/province.

If Mcdavid isn't a PPG player by the time he's 23 then he'd be considered a failure. Johnny Hockey at a near PPG pace is a franchise player....

not sure I would take that bet with a NJ Taylor Hall. If Hall were a Flyer, Ranger etc. I'd have no problem with the wager. Stuck with NJ defensive system now however
Gadreau and McDavid in the same breath. Imagine that!
I wonder what response Gadreau and a small add for McDavid would draw? I think I can guess. It would have something to do with a lunatic asylum.

interesting proposal .. the discussion up til now not so much
Hall coming back to his home town to haunt the Oilers 6 times a year. He certainly will have a chip on his shoulder. Should be a smart swap for the Flames if they are having issues with inking Gaudreau to a long term extension.
Gaudreau would be thrilled to play for NJ as well
""It’s special coming back and playing in New Jersey," Gaudreau said after the Flames morning skate. "I’ve got a lot of family and friends at the game tonight. We only get to come out to the east coast and play close to home twice a year when we play New Jersey and Philly, so it’s exciting.""

What I was trying to say is, that it took Gaudreau, less time, to reach the level that Hall was at.
I think this McDavid crap has completely gone outta of control
(kind of serious here, let's just get the season started). Flames fans are not delusional, we just need both Johnny and McDavid to play a full season.
He is and he probably will be but let's see if he can do it over a full season(which he probably can).

"I had some ups and downs and with Lou (former GM Lamoriello) this organization always emphasized defence first,†said Larsson, who was a more offensive D back in Sweden"
It doesn't matter. The Devils could lead the league in scoring and people would still say they play the trap and are boring.

Is Gaudreau not Kane-lite? So you believe he is of equal level to Kane? Greater? Or he is so far off from being in Kane's realm that a comparison which even states Gaudreau is not as good as Kane is too extreme?
I think you should look up the definition of "lite", you may be surprised what you find. No one is saying Gaudreau is as good as Kane if the use the phrase Kane-lite.
As for the McDavid, I think everyone knows McDavid is the better player, and will be the better player, not much defending that one.

Shero has gone on record many times saying that he's trying to build a fast paced/attacking team. Lou's Devils were always defense first. If it seems like we're defensive mined it's only because we couldn't score goals with our bottom 6 depth and no real help from the blue line. Our bottom 6 looks much better than last year and Larsson didn't exactly contribute offensively.

I will say that as a NJ native it's hard to decide who to show loyalty to here. The other NJ native or the new possible face of the franchise.

Before you see the light, you must die.
It's really hard for me to say whether Gaudreau or Hall is the better player. They play the same position at an almost identical level, which you like more is going to come down to personal preference.
That said, I wouldn't do the trade. You don't acquire a player like Hall and then trade him before he even plays a game. He's uprooted his life and just started to settle into a new one. Moving him now sends the wrong message to everyone.

Hall has personally said he models his game after Zach Parise.
The lite part is bull, though. He's every bit as good, probably better going forward.

Yes......yes, you are delusional. As long as I hear little Johnny is as good as McDavid.
Throw a poll up, and see how many people would take Connor, over Johnny.
