Again, no that isn't what he's doing.
Have you ever stopped to think Hall
wants to be here long-term and there is the expansion draftvnext season and the Sabres can only protect so many players? Hall will be a UFA at the time of the expansion draft next season and the Sabres will not have to protect him.
And Hall has a NMC, NTC clause in this contract so that theiry of yours that they will move him doesn't hold water.
The Sabres are already talking about Hall being here long-term. He will be unless thos season totally goes south.
And, again, GM's aren't going to back up the Brinks truck because of one season with Jack Eichel. GM's around the league have had many years to see whT exactly Taylor Hall is.
