Report: Four Teams Making Huge Offers to Taylor Hall
Taylor Hall will not be heading back to Arizona after the team announced earlier this week the two sides are parting ways, and there's a bunch of teams that are finalizing their offers before noon on Friday
The teams include the Calgary Flames, Nashville Predators, Columbus Blue Jackets and Colorado Avalanche.

Calgary has been the favorite all along, as Hall's home town team could have a very 'living out a childhood dream' feel to it.
The Nashville Predators have John Hynes, who coached Hall during his MVP season in New Jersey, so they will be leveraging that relationship during negotiations. The level of comfort with the coach is nothing to shake a stick at, especially when Hall enjoyed a career season.
The Columbus Blue Jackets are trying hard to add scoring punch and have cleared some serious cap space with the trade of Ryan Murray to the Devils for nothing.
The Colorado Avalanche are going all-in this season, and have Hall #1 on their board. The team is one or two players away from being a regular in the conference finals so their depth up front could be very appealing for Hall.
One thing's for sure, Hall has said his goodbyes in Arizona and he's about to secure the bag with his next contract. We just have to wait and see where the introduction will take place.
