ROR isn't in Hall's league. It's definitely a slight against Hall if you say it's a massive overpayment and refer to his extension as "overbloated" meaning he's not worth it. Everyone thinks their prospects are worth more than their weight in gold. This is nothing new. Screw the 28 year old Hart Trophy winner, WE WANT OUR PROSPECTS!
Yes paying a 29 year old 12m range would be over bloated at that age, it will. hurt you in the later years of the contract bc he's not taking less than a 7 year deal. NO one wants to be paying 12m to a 35-36 year old.
Its the 4th overall you simpleton, you are acting like its just a standard 1st round pick, there is high high value you to it, and they are not traded in this league. Why slam the Avs window shut with eating up all their cap space before it even opens. The 4th and Kaut keep their competitive window open much much longer with having high end young forwards coming in on ELCS
ROR is one of the elite 2 way Cs in this league, Hall is a scoring Winger. As shown you win with guys like ROR, you dont with Hall. Avs were top 10 in offence last year, so hall doesn't od anything for them, another scoring winger who doesnt solve their issues of 2nd line C.
Like I said living in a delusional world if you think you can get the 4th overall plus Kaut for Hall
