is this a result of better playmaking or is Hall just racking up points quietly ?

you're out to lunchhis game is very sloppy and reckless. he'd probably be way sicker at about 12 points if he had control and made a few smart plays when he has momentum. he gives a lot of offensive zones away with bad decisions on rushes (skate into D or throw it into their shin pads instead of negotiating the situation with deep zone play with a little chip). the good thing is that every so often with their smarts, tenacity, speed and agility the 3 kids can regain the puck here and there on some of those "hero" moments.
and again, disclaimer: love the kid.

Hall has always been a criminally underrated passer and play-maker. He looks better than RNH this year in that respect, actually.
You would never know it by the people complaining ad nausea about his play in GDT's though. Some already want him run out of town.
Taylor is the new Sam.LOL
no matter how well he'll play, there will be snipers in the bushes ready to pounce on the slightest mistake.....zomg!he can't deke...no I.Q. derp!
lol yeah it has nothing to do with him getting open for a breakout pass or using his speed to clear his own zone. OMG DERP DEKE IQ
lol
Assist against Vancouver - Rushing in with Eberle, drops it behind and Eberle takes it to the net.
Assist against LA - Shot on goal, Yakupov pots the rebound.
Assists against Calgary - Horcoff wins a faceoff and Hall pushes it back to the point. Gets a 2nd assist. 2nd assist he is battling infront of the net, rebound comes and as he tries to get his stick on it and it comes to Gagner and he pots it.
Assists against Colorado - Enters the zone with the puck close to the boards, passes it to Eberle as hes rushing towards the slot. 2nd assist, RNH saucers a nice pass to Hall, Hall directs it towards the net, hits Horcoffs skate and is redirected to hit the net.
None of these plays screamed to me playmaking. They were smart heads up play. I've personally bit more frustrated with his attempts at dekes through-out the games. They probably worked for in the AHL, but I don't think a single one has worked for him this year.
I guess its how you want to interpret a playmaker. Can he make a wow pass or deke around someone...no. But hes making smart passes at certain times.
