New Jersey Devils head coach John Hynes gave another brief update on Taylor Hall on Monday. He’s one of the many injured players who aren’t playing, but obviously the most important. The Devils have been without their superstar since Christmas, when during the break the decision to shut him down was made.
Since then, he attempted rest and rehab to fix his knee injury, but eventually decided arthroscopic surgery was necessary. When fans hear superstar player and surgery during a lost season, many believe it should be obvious to shut that player down until next season.
