Hard move with NJ

I can't help but feel that you're paying more for what would ultimately be a Hall and Vatanen rental than most teams would end up paying for Hall with an extension.

But I'm also a huge Sergachev guy, so that could easily be my inability to get past my own bias.

Above is the trade !!!! . Hall signs 8 year 80M deal for 2020 .. Killorn sacrificed if crappy TJ doesn't waive but he gone soon is word. Gourde may waive for NJ as higher line potential playing time and his grinder style fits NJ .. so Gourde and Killorn free up 10M .. amount given to Hall .. also no need to resign Sergachev but does rely on Cal Foote in 2020

There are rumors of a TyJo trade? Where?

There isn't. He just hates both Johnson and Gourde since they aren't producing 60 points a year and are relatively small for hockey players...
