On Taylor Hall

Eric Engels: Montreal Canadiens GM Marc Bergevin on Taylor Hall: “He’s a player we’ve definitely looked at.”

David Pagnotta: “Now that I tweet this, I might jinx it as it’s a very fluid situation, but unless the right offer/opportunity presents itself today, there’s talk Taylor Hall might be willing to wait things out a few days before making a final decision. We’ll see.”
