What direction should the Boston Bruins go in a Taylor Hall extension?

The Boston Bruins currently have just over $31 million in current cap space on deck for this offseason. They’ll certainly have some holes to fill, but locking up Taylor Hall should be a priority for this organization. At 29 years old, the past MVP has been an immediate fit with the Bruins and the club should try and get as much value as possible for a player whose stock is rising quick.

Taylor Hall wants to remain a part of this organization for years to come and is certainly looking for some consistency along with a decent dollar amount. Hall has already garnered the respect of his coaches and teammates and he seems to share that respect.

If the Boston Bruins don’t see any sort of rebuild in the near future – a longer-term, lower money contract could be the best path for both sides. The Bruins are masterful at getting their players to buy in and Taylor Hall may be willing to take a lower dollar amount to be part of a winning organization.

Don Sweeney did his job bringing an impact secondary scoring winger into the fold and now he has an opportunity to enjoy the player for years to come. Time to get the conversation rolling before Taylor Hall prices himself out of Boston.
