Once believed to be the organization’s cornerstone player, Taylor Hall’s days with the New Jersey Devils appear to be numbered. The seeming inevitability of Hall’s departure has stirred up many emotions, concerns and realizations fans are struggling to accept.
Evidently, moving Hall will probably set New Jersey’s rebuild back a step or two, and the team will lose another star-caliber player in their prime, something fans are long accustomed to seeing. While the return for Hall is expected to be bountiful, it will neither indemnify the team, nor provide assets capable of reciprocating his role and production rate, at least for this season.
