New Jersey Devils: Three Reasons To Bring Taylor Hall Back

The New Jersey Devils should consider bringing Taylor Hall back. There are three obvious reasons why it would be a good idea.

The New Jersey Devils have a lot of great young pieces in place. They have up and coming stars like Nico Hischier, Jack Hughes, Mackenzie Blackwood, and Jesper Bratt in the fold. It would be awesome if they had just one more star player that was a little older. Kyle Palmieri is there but someone like Taylor Hall coming back would go a long way.

There might be some people who have a bad taste in their mouth about the way it ended, but all can be forgotten if they were to unite and win. Make absolutely no mistake about it, Taylor Hall is one of the best players in the history of the team. It would be an ultimate upgrade if they brought him back in the middle of his prime.

New Jersey traded Taylor Hall in December to the Arizona Coyotes for picks and prospects. It was a decent return for a pending free agent winger having a down year that is going to ask for a lot of money at season’s end. Now, with him having a down year on top of the coronavirus pandemic wiping out the final few weeks of the season, he might be getting less money on his contract than he thought.

The Devils are in a good spot with the salary cap, even if it goes down. They might be able to take advantage of that once again, just this time we hope that whatever they do works out a little better than previous attempts. These are three reasons in favor of bringing back Taylor Hall:
