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.

I think it's fair to say speed was his main asset and that declined due to age or injury.

His straight ahead speed is still pretty good. But his agility/maneuverability/quickness has declined a lot.

Glad this dude isn’t anywhere near my team, heard nothing but bad things. Wasn’t that impressed with his comments after leaving Chicago either

Taylor Hall on Blackhawks: ‘I was happy to be traded’

Hall's tone in Carolina is not bitter, but relieved — and more than anything, excited.

Always thought he and Seguin should’ve switched places in the 2010 draft

I got a good chuckle out of this. It's like dude swindles himself in a team, then eventually gets found out and promptly sent on his way.

I've been beating the drum for years. Every time the topic of that draft comes up, I mention that I firmly believe that if Seguin went to Edmonton and Hall went to Boston, both would have had significantly better careers.
