Hall vs Seguin

[blayze]

I've seen Hall make plenty of bone headed plays that speaks to his hockey IQ.

In fact, I was just watching my boy Lehtonen face the Oilers earlier this week, and here's what Hall brilliantly decided to do with a valuable opportunity wide open, one-on-one with the goalie to put his team up by 2... instead the Stars came back and won 3-1.

Not only was it a terrible decision, but the execution was so badly telegraphed, it looked like he was doing it in slow-motion. The funniest part is whoever uploaded the video titled it "Fantastic trick by Taylor Hall" ROFL... what a joke.

Wow a ton of hate coming cake down buddy, I'm giving my opinion you have yours I have mine. Not saying Sequin or Hall will be like Ovi or Crosby but if you compare the two Halls more a one dimensional player like Ovi and Sequin, RHN and Eberle are more Crosby type IMO.

Another thing to note when talking about skill heart and determination are not a skill their a trait so yes I feel Eberle and RHN are more skilled.

Havana cool your jets these forums are for opinions no need to get your panties twisted.

I would go with Hall just because of Edmonton's young core of talent around him. I think Seguin will be the slightly better player though.

Hey Zorro....you're a disgrace to tell sword...

Seguin IS already a STUD...How big a stud he'll become is still in question. Hall is the same.

Honestly...I feel the last time we've had a better #1 #2 punch was back in the ovie/Spezza days.

These 2 kids should flat out be admired and not pitted against each other. EDM Boston fans are the beneficiaries here. Congrats.

I don't understand what you are trying to get at here?? Please explain.. I was just voicing my opinion..

hmm looks like I opened up a can of worms here lol, loving this thread!

Seguin FORSURE!! And this isn't because I am a Bruins fan.. I bet the Oilers are really kicking themselves for not drafting Seguin instead of Hall..

I'm sorry if you don't agree but Seguin is the better of the two and is going to be a STUD!!

Here's why... You're quick to state that Seguin is the pick FORSURE!!! Yet you under cut your argument by saying Seguin is going to be a STUD...rather than holding strong and stating that Seguin is already a STUD. Personally...I feel both are already studs...

There are a few problems with your interpretation of that event.

1. Hall actually explained why he did it in an interview and his explanation made sense.

2. It was not telegraphed or poorly executed because Lehtonen himself said he was caught off guard by it and was lucky to stop it.

Rarely to I disagree with Blayze....here is one of those times

HAHAHA, sounds good!! I just feel Seguin is already proving he is better then Hall, and that is just my opinion.. I also feel that he is going to be a STUD.. I wouldn't say Seguin is a STUD quite yet, but I do think he will be soon enough. So yes, Seguin is my pick FORSURE..

Just thought I would resurrect this old thread tonite. Hall with a hat trick which is unbelievable considering how stupid he is and you know.....his lack of hockey sense.

[blayze]

Not sure what your point is resuscitating this old thread, but one game (or a shortened season) doesn't change a thing for me, I'd still take Seguin without hesitation.

[agoodburn]

Go with Seguin. Seguin is in a great position in Boston and can make things happen by himself.

[havanablast21]

Still Taking Hall. I know he's dumb...stupid and lacks a drop of Hockey Sense...

meh.

Works for me.

Seguin is a great spot and great position?? Yeah... Possibly...

But Hall's not?

PaaaLEASE!!!

There is a reason he went #1 to Seguin's #2 (close...but I agree).

EDIT:
Thought I'd do a little more investigation here:

GP G A Pts +/- PIM Hits BkS FW FL FO% PPG PPA SHG SHA GW SOG Pct
Hall: Career Totals (Full) 157 60 69 129 -10 90 107 85 89 117 .432 24 19 0 0 13 495 .121
Seguin: Career Totals (Full) 189 51 63 114 52 60 66 43 213 221 .491 9 14 0 0 8 482 .106

All I can say is "Let the Number's Speak". Short of Faceoff Related stats (Positionally bias) and +/- (bogus stat..argueably), Hall takes Seguin down on each of
G/A/Pts/PIM/Hits/Blks/PPG/PPA/GWG/SOG and Shooting % (Oh that's right...Hall managed to do all of this with 32 less games played)

So unless you're talking about some real life intangible, IMO and based on the #'s, Hall is the better Fantasy Asset over Seguin Right Now...and Trending forward based on this sample size.

Still Seguin

[havanablast21]

Go with Seguin. Seguin is in a great position in Boston and can make things happen by himself.

And Hall Can't make things happen by himself? Dude...do you even watch Oiler Games? No slight against Seguin here...VERY GOOD COMPARISON, but if you're suggesting that Hall is a 1 dimensional player incapable of sparking the offense on his own...I'd suggest watching a few more Oiler Games.
