Taylor Hall is an Arizona Coyote. Elliotte Friedman broke the news Monday afternoon around 5 p.m. on Twitter. Details followed soon thereafter. The New York Islanders made the right move in the end. Here's why.

The Trade Package

Here are all the moving parts to the trade:

*Devils keep 50 percent of Hall's cap hit
