Boston Bruins should extend Taylor Hall now

Ever since the NHL Trade Deadline, the Boston Bruins have been playing some of their best hockey. To the joy of the Bruins faithful, Don Sweeney finally took a big swing and brought in some quality talent at the deadline. Needless to say, it has paid off early with Boston winning 6 of their last 8 games.

The big fish snagged at the deadline in Taylor Hall has made an immediate impact with the Boston Bruins. Any nagging fear that Hall just wasn’t a quality player anymore is now completely out the window and can now be completely attributed to him playing for (as Jack Edwards would say) the NHL’s version of a dumpster fire in the Buffalo Sabres.

Taylor Hall has 6 points in 8 games with the Boston Bruins and has shown work ethic on the defensive side as well that has really endeared himself to his coaches, teammates, and fans alike. Hall has truly revamped the Bruins’ second line – giving Boston two offensively lethal units with the Perfection Line.

Taylor Hall has brought nothing but positive results for the Boston Bruins so far. His rejuvenated play though has created a buzz around the league and has certainly lifted his stock only 8 games in with the Bruins. An impending UFA, Hall would’ve already had several suitors on the free agency market – if he continues to play this way there could be several more interested teams. More interest means more money.

If the Boston Bruins see a future with Taylor Hall they should be working on a contract extension as soon as possible. Hall has already stated that he hopes to be a Bruin past this season. If Hall continues this trajectory of play, the price will only go up. So if Boston wants to get a bargain on the past Hart Trophy winner – the time is now.
