Pierre LeBrun of The Athletic: Kyle Connor‘s agent Rich Evans on Monday on the report that they were close to having a deal done.
“That’s just not true,” Evans said.
The New Jersey Devils and Taylor Hall‘s camp have had preliminary talks. Now, if a deal can’t be reached … Due to last seasons knee issues, Hall’s trade value could be same at the trade deadline as it would have been this offseason as teams would have wanted to know how he bounces back. The Devils can be patient with him.
