Hall, 50% retained.
The Bruins made the two best trades today (for team's trying to win games).
For their team’s needs? Maybe.
I’m still quite happy with Foligno and Rittich to the Leafs. They didn’t need another skill forward. The leafs have been pushed around of late despite their wins. And with Hutchinson being their only G depth, I think they deserve some credit. Boston got good value, I do agree, and they could use Hall to help spread out their top 3 players. Still not sure about Boston’s crease. Maybe they’re not done.

It’s hard to overstate how bad this trade is for Buffalo and it’s a perfect encapsulation of why bad teams stay bad.
HOWEVER.
It’s important to add the context that were roughly 15 hours out from the trade deadline, which makes this trade so much worse. How do you accept THAT deal now. That’s a “there’s only 2 minutes left to the deadline and I overplayed my hand and this is the only deal left on the table” type offer. Just disgustingly bad asset management by Buffalo.
I rate this as a good trade for Boston...

People on Twitter are mentioning Hall’s NMC as part of the reason for the poor return and I just don’t buy it. If Hall is restricting you with his NMC you tell him he’s not getting traded and good luck in contract negotiations this summer with the season he just put up. He needs a good playoff run just as much as Buffalo needed a much better return.
I thought them getting a 2nd round pick for Hall as a win. I didn't think he was worth that (and this is coming from a Hall fan), plus they get Bjork, who still got upside. I actually like this trade for Buffalo.

I like this trade for both sides. 2nd round pick and a player who has second line potential is a good return for an expensive soon to be UFA who is having a down year.
Boston has been having a hard time scoring lately and provide Hall with a winning culture and veteran leadership as well as some major talent around him (at least on the PP). Krejci is still a great playmaker too so if they can develop chemistry, it could be exciting.
The big winner here is Hall, this will be the first time in Hall’s career that we’ve seen him on a good team. He’s pretty much played with bottom feeders his entire time in the league. If he shines in Boston, someone will end up backing up the brinks truck this off-season even in spite of the awful showing in Buffalo
In case you all didn't notice, Bjork has scored as many goals as Hall this season. Just saying.

Time for Hall to put up or shuuuuutuuuuppppp.
When I left the toxic atmosphere of my last job and arrived at my current company that had a strong work culture, I arrived with a renewed vigor and my productivity took a huge jump.
I really think Hall will respond positively coming out of the dumpster fire that is Buffalo
