I’m sort of in the same place. Mainly because I believe the Bruins organization is more sound than any of the other organizations he’s been in. So I think if anyone can turn this guy around it’s a good chance Bergeron/Marchand could do it. Not as line mates but just as teammates, stick his locker right next to 37, have him sleep on the futon in Bergy’s basement and see what happens.
I also would love to see a line of Hall-Krejci-Pasta.
There’s plenty guys I’d prefer over him, but if he was to come here I think Hall has a better chance than the places he’s been.
Not saying Hall has made the best judgement in his NHL career... But he has an NMC and can pick which team he wants to go to.
Think the Iginla situation.
Isle's getting stacked. Hall picks where he goes.
Does Hall look at the Bruins and say, Wow, do wanna play with David Krejci and Craig Smith? If Lou can make the money work, I see him making that deal happen... because he can.
We already saw Hall make the decision to pick Eichel and the Sabres over us, wouldn't be surprised to see him pick an easy way out and go with the Isles.
I still don't want Hall, but I am re-signed to the fact that our incompetent GM isn't good at fixing this team... so a bandaid likely is what is gonna happen.
