i would be absolutely livid if we gave up a first in 2022 for a rental

Ok so a 2021 1st? Cuz I don't think Buffalo would trade him for 1 of those. Despite his struggles his name value holds a lot of weight. And who knows maybe Hall likes playing there and takes a little less to stay.

Sabres accept that immediately

ok so what should I value him at.

no. we arent a good team and need prospects

Just read a rumor that Hall may not waive his NMC. Wants to stay in Buffalo actually.

Really? Why?

True well maybe a 2021 1st then, but Columbus is just in a bad slump Imo.

Here it is

The more surprising note from Custance and Duhatschek on a player who also may not be willing to waive their NMC for a potential trade is Taylor Hall. Signed to a one-year deal this off-season, it was expected that Hall would again be the top trade deadline target if the Buffalo Sabres were not on a postseason trajectory. Well, the Sabres are certainly not playoff-bound, but Hall doesn’t seem to mind. Custance and Duhatschek cite sources who believe that Hall, ranked at just No. 24 on The Athletic’s trade board, is happy in Buffalo and would like to stay. There is a belief that an extension may be more likely than a trade at this point, even with the Sabres’ season in shambles and the team in need of the immense trade capital he would return.

Lol still not. Cbj is not trading a first round pick for a non rental. That pick could very well end up being high

Another wing isn’t the add to change anything.... Columbus needs an actual top 6 center, not this poor attempt at having 3 middle 6 guys and shuffling them through.
