I put hall on the sabres in NHL 21 franchise mode and they went on to win the cup, no joke.

OEL has already said he wouldn't accept a trade to anywhere except VAN or BOS and it has to be done by last Friday.

If the great one can be traded, anyone can, people change mindsets

True but irrelevant. OEL isn't going back to Armstrong and saying, "Now that Hall is in Buffalo for one year, you can trade me there, too!" There is no telling what is going to happen after that and, let's face it, he doesn't want to go from one uncertain situation to another.
