Huge Update on Taylor Hall's Free-Agency

The Taylor Hall sweepstakes kick-off this week and it's going to be fun to watch. As the management team crumbled around Hall in Arizona, the speedy winger is likely to leave the desert for some structure and a team that's capable of competing for Stanley Cups. It also turns out Hall doesn't need the Brinks truck backed up to his front door, all he cares about is winning.

Chris Johnston on Headlines says Taylor Hall will entertain 1 or 2 yr deals.

According to Chris Johnston of Sportsnet, Hall is willing to take a short-term deal because he's interested in contenders, and the salary cap will only stay flat for so long. We hope, at least.

This opens up a ton of avenues for Hall. There will be a number of teams willing to sign him on a two-year deal and not a seven-year deal.

Hall finished last season between New Jersey and Arizona with 52 points in 65 games. The one key stat for Hall is, he's productive in the playoffs. The left-winger has 12 points in 14 career playoff games, but he will be the first to tell you, 14 playoff games and 627 regular season games, is not the ratio he's looking for.

If your team is capable of winning playoff games, Taylor Hall will be interested. As far as his old team Arizona goes, you can cross them off the list.
