Taylor Hall?

Signing with buffalo was a giant mistake

A former number one overall pick in 2010. What happened to him? He has played on 7 different teams so far. Stats are pretty good BUT why has he bounced around so much? It looks like he survives 3/4 years per club.

Guessing you are unaware of how many years ago 2010 was?

Kind of surprised Edmonton was never interested in a reunion.

This off season he's gonna sign a long-term cheap contract with a contending team like Toronto. I think he's at the point of his career where he doesn't want to be traded anymore.

He was a below average number one overall pick, was never supposed to be a franchise changer. Edmonton sucked for long enough that he (as an offense-only winger with injury history) became redundant and a trade candidate.

Went to New Jersey and had one crazy year but the other two was just another one dimensional first line winger.

After that, he was a victim of the flat cap. Signed a one-year deal to delay locking into term. Then signed a mid-term deal with a different team, but (again) he's a one dimensional, injury prone, Top 6 winger. You're first out the door when a good team needs cap space.
