I think we would’ve regretted a Gaudreau swap in either case. But Hall appears to be the exact same player he’s always been. Which is a good, rarely great, but also rarely bad player.

I didn’t think he looked good for Boston. I took him in my PO pool so I watched him a lot. He got points and scored a big jam in goal once in the POs, but compared to all of the other Boston and NYI forwards he was just “there”. Actually the guy who looked most like him in that sense was Eberle, oddly enough.

After spending his entire career being hot-potatoed between terrible teams, Halls offering a reasonable discount to spend the rest of his career with some dignity.

Taylor Hall only had 5 points in 11 playoff games - he didn't really put up a terrible amount of offense, which was too bad, but the Bruins did struggle heavily against the Islanders.

What impressed me when watching the Bruins in the playoffs was his commitment to a two-way game. He was pretty stellar while back checking.

I think Hall is a great addition to the Bruins - it takes some pressure off Pasta/Marchand/Bergy, and gives them some much needed depth scoring up front.

Seems like a good fit for both him and the team. Good signing.

What a great contract for Boston.

I really wanted Hall to be a Flame at some point

I didn't. Thank you Boston.
