One of the biggest stories around the league is the ongoing situation in New Jersey playing out with Taylor Hall. Hall, 27, won the MVP in 2017-18 in his last healthy season. His contract is up on July 1st and he has not yet signed a contract extension. The dialogue coming from his camp and Devils GM Ray Shero indicates that talks have been very preliminary, the sides aren’t close to coming to an agreement soon by anyone’s account.
And while it’s early and most believe the Devils will still be patient, the clock is ticking.
