I'm sure he has a chip on his shoulder over being traded. Could be what elevates his game to the next level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Devilsfan118 Posted August 22, 2016 Share Posted August 22, 2016 One of the top goalies and LW's in the league? Noice, dynasty mode in NHL 17 won't suck for the first few seasons like it has in years past Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MadDog2020 Posted August 23, 2016 Share Posted August 23, 2016 I'm in my franchise in NHL16 and I tried to trade Larsson for Hall, and the reply was "I didn't become GM by making stupid decisions like that. Edmonton declines your offer". i then offered Larsson + 1st round pick: nope. Larsson + 2 1st round picks finally did it. no idea why it's relevant; but damn if it isn't funny. Lmfao it actually said that? Can you screenshot it?Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bet he had a sweeter ride in EDM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MadDog2020 Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Good read about Hall and how he's been dealing with the trade from The Hockey News: http://m.thn.com/blog/taylor-hall-says-the-honest-thing-not-the-right-thing-about-trade-to-devils/Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jerzey Posted August 25, 2016 Share Posted August 25, 2016 Nice read up but I think I'll disagree with the author of the article calling the Devils "arguably the least talented line up top to bottom". Also not angry at all that he's excited about being close to NYC. Who wouldn't be with that much money? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also hurt his forearms when he started talking with his hands. He's going to be out for at least 12 weeks. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 I still can't believe Shero pulled this trade off... It's like a kids eat free kind of thing.... Now, I hope Hall can get over getting dumped by his first gf and believe that his new one is actually... well, maybe not hotter but she's definitely going to give him more action.

Colorado Rockies 1976 Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 Hopefully people are willing to be patient with Hall...in other words, if he only has four goals through 20 games or so, don't start booing him. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
capo Posted August 26, 2016 Share Posted August 26, 2016 As long as the team is winning his leash will be longer. I think he's going to do pretty well. He's familiar with Henrique so that should help with that and the Devils are very well coached.... I think it's going to be an exciting season to be a Devils fan.

LittleBallofHate Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Hall interview "One on One with Taylor Hall": http://oilersnation.com/2016/8/30/one-on-one-with-taylor-hall Snippets: Hall: Well, it’s tough right now because I really haven’t played any hockey. I haven’t played a game in a Devil’s sweater. I think once that happens, once training camp starts and I get to know the players and the organization and I start getting familiar with the Eastern Conference then I think that it will be just like another game, another team that I’m playing for. But you know I watched all of my interviews during the BioSteel camp and everyone always asks me about Edmonton, they never ask me about New Jersey, so it seems like I’m complaining the whole time and I’m crying myself to sleep every night, which I’m not, of course. I’m looking forward to what I can do in Jersey for sure. Gregor: I’ve had many Oilers fans wonder, and I realize it’s a long ways away, but when you’re a UFA in four years would you contemplate signing in Edmonton? Hall: No, I don’t think that I would. Gregor: I’ve always appreciated you’re very honest and rather than give the sit on the fence answer you’ll answer directly. I appreciate that. Hall: Right now my focus is Jersey and playing my four years there, but I don’t think that I would come back. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The interviewer specifically asks about coming back to EDM so I'm assuming EDM, not NJ... he hasn't even suited up so he'd have no clue yet how he'll feel 4 years down the road...

mfitz804 Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 Pretty clear he was talking about Edmonton. Unless he's a total idiot, nobody is going to say they'd never re-sign with the team that just traded for them. That's not a way to be popular with the fan base over the next 4 years.

Jerzey Posted August 31, 2016 Share Posted August 31, 2016 (edited) I know his mind might change in 4 years but I'd be lying if I said the fact that he pointed out that he's focused on his 4 years in NJ has me a little worried that he doesn't plan on re-signing at this point. Why give the time limit at all? Still, 4 years is a pretty long time I guess and he could end up loving it here.
