Taylor Hall was once an Edmonton Oiler. Will he be one again?
The New Jersey Devils forward, who turns 28 on Nov. 14, is in the final year of a seven-year, $42-million deal he signed with the Oilers in August of 2012. If he doesn’t sign an extension with the Devils, he’ll be one of the most highly sought after free agents of all time on July 1.
“I can’t really do much about my situation until that day comes, if it ever does,” said Hall, who won the Hart Trophy with the Devils after the 2017-18 season.
“My biggest priority is the Devils right now. Thinking about anything else would be cheating myself, cheating my teammates.”
