The Calgary Flames took their swing at Taylor Hall and unfortunately, the swing missed.
Rumours have swirled about a potential “hockey trade” the Flames offered the New Jersey Devils for Taylor Hall and now, that deal has come to light.
According to Sportsnet’s Jeff Marek, the Flames offered Noah Hanifin and Sam Bennett in exchange for Taylor Hall and defenceman Sami Vatanen, he said on the 31 Thoughts podcast. The deal was reportedly discussed in the middle of the season, however, the Devils liked what the Arizona Coyotes offered up better.
The deal would’ve seen Hall, who has scored 563 points in 627 games winning the Hart Trophy in 2017-18, make a grand homecoming.
