Here are two interesting articles that should give you an insight as to why Hall did not work here.
Taylor Hall says he didn't want a "dialogue" with his coaches with Edmonton Oilers
Why Taylor Hall feels he's held more accountable with Devils than he was with Oilers
quotes...
an important one by Ference to Bob Stauffer last year (when basically only Hall was moved):
"“The vibe and just the attitude towards being a professional had to change, and that did. And Peter (Chiarelli) did that in Boston. He moved guys around that didn’t buy into the atmosphere that he wanted to create which he knows as a winner. And he did the same thing here… This year you’re obviously seeing a step in the right direction with the professionalism of the team, the battle, the way they’re playing on the ice, the way they’re acting in the city or down in the room… Just that culture, I can’t empathize it enough, how important it is to come into a room and to know that everybody has bought in and everybody is going to be there for each other.” Ference mentioned it helped to have bigger players on the Oilers, but being a closer group was crucial. “Size is one thing and it does help because of pure physics, but the attitude of knowing that there’s not just one or two guys who are going to go out and fight the battles, and then you look down the locker and you know that guy is never going to go to war for you. I mean, that’s demoralizing. It kills teams, to not be able to look across and know that guy has got your back just as much as you have his. It’s more about that more than pure size.”
"in Edmonton, I really didn’t want to talk to coaches. I didn’t really want to have dialogue with coaches."
"Not talking to a coach, not having a dialogue, also means not listening to the coach and at the NHL level that’s not a recipe for success."
"This quote is an interesting piece in the puzzle about why Taylor Hall was traded. It goes to why the team might well have wanted to move him out and also to his value in trade, which was less than many Oilers fans hoped."
"Perhaps the change of scenery to New Jersey, and the shock of playing on another losing team, was something of a wake-up call."
Essentially I think Hynes and Shero had a REAL tough love talk with him last summer and made sure he listened and communicated and played as a team player. he was stubborn here and did not want to be that. So basically, Hall did not work here. Chia moved him out of necessity.
