The Bruins coveted Taylor Hall – and as he’s since revealed, Taylor Hall coveted the Bruins – in the 2010 NHL Draft.
Owning the No. 2 overall pick, the Bruins were a spot too low to have a shot at getting the no-doubt No. 1 overall choice, ending up instead with decent consolation prize Tyler Seguin.
More than a decade later, Hall and the Bruins were finally united at the NHL trade deadline last month. He has fit in like he’s been wearing the Spoked B alongside Krejci, Brad Marchand, and Patrice Bergeron all along.
Hall has eight goals and six assists in 14 games with the Bruins, including an absolute beauty of a winning score in overtime against the Islanders Monday night.
