Taylor Hall is one of the biggest names available in free agency this off-season. RoryBoylen looks at 7 possible landing spots for the former MVP.
Until he leaves, the Coyotes can’t be counted out, although they’re not the favourites either. This is not an easy one to figure out.
They could use a more proven scorer for the left side of the second line, but Andre Burakovsky stepped up in that role this year and will need a new contract himself. And while Colorado has cap space for now, they also have to be mindful of Cale Makar and Gabriel Landeskog, who will both need to be re-upped after next season, and the cap outlook may not be much better at that point.
Again it comes down to cost, though. Edmonton has $10.1 million in cap space, but have a clear need in net and must also sign RFA Ethan Bear after his solid rookie campaign. Edmonton would need to move out some money to even have a chance here, but perhaps could accomplish that off the blue line.It’s clear the Canadiens need an offensive specialist and Hall is certainly that. The Habs also have $18.3 million in cap space this off-season, with Max Domi the most notable player to re-sign.
Other than the Avalanche, Dallas may be the team with the best Stanley Cup shot on this list, and that would also be attractive to Hall.For lovers of rivalries, here’s an interesting thought: What if Hall landed in the other Alberta NHL city?
