Yes, we’ve come to this. Just two weeks ago, the experts were reporting that the New Jersey Devils and the camp of Taylor Hall were seriously discussing a contract extension. Now, after six straight losses to start the season, the rumors are back to pointing at possible trade destinations for the Devils biggest star.
Sportsnet’s Elliotte Friedman spoke on the radio, saying that if Hall were to become available, one of the first teams knocking on Ray Shero’s door is a familiar one. The Edmonton Oilers have a brand new GM, a new coach and a new feeling after coming out to a 6-1-0 start.
