Taylor Hall

In 2016, in a move that surprised many, Hall was traded to the New Jersey Devils. It was with the Devils that he had his most successful individual season to date. In the 2017-2018 season, Hall recorded 93 points and was awarded the Hart Memorial Trophy as the NHL’s most valuable player, leading the Devils to a playoff berth.
Hall’s journey in the NHL has continued with stints with the Arizona Coyotes, Buffalo Sabres, and then the Boston Bruins. Across these teams, he has showcased his ability to adapt and contribute offensively.
