Well Taylor sure enjoys playing for the Bruins as the numbers are impressive. Let's hope he can give the Bruins more UmPFF in the playoffs.
@KrejciMVP
I wouldn’t be surprised if neither party is interested in signing a deal at the moment. Hall has been feeling it since he stepped onto the ice with Krejci and Smith, and shows no sign of slowing down in terms of production. Those points do something for his value but any kind of similar performance in the playoffs is going to push his value to the next level. From the FO perspective, they’ve hit a grand slam so far but ultimately he’s here for a playoff run. They want to see what he can do when the pressure is highest.
I think I said 6.5 AAV in another thread, but I think it’s 7 AAV at this point if he signs for friendly term like 3-4 years. I think any sort of 5+ year deal at 7 or above would be difficult to swallow unless he’s well over PPG on this run in the playoffs. I think he wants a second line/non-starring role and that has to come into consideration on negotiations.
While the numbers are terrific, I`m most impressed with his efforts in all 3 zones, not sure I`ve noticed him play that way beforeWell Taylor sure enjoys playing for the Bruins as the numbers are impressive. Let's hope he can give the Bruins more UmPFF in the playoffs.
If Krejci leaves for Columbus do we even bother signing Hall? No one can really center him on the roster. May be time to rebuild
Dreger on Insider Trading reports there is belief Jarmo Kekäläinen will try his best to acquire a top level centre in the offseason to try and help Patrik Laine. #CBJ

Yes, you re-sign Hall and then hope Barkov makes it to FA in the summer of 2022.If Krejci leaves for Columbus do we even bother signing Hall? No one can really center him on the roster. May be time to rebuild

I can't imagine Krejci leaving, but it would definitely require us reconsidering our options. With the top line we have along with our D I'm not sure we would be in a position to rebuild anyway. It might be worth keeping Hall and trying to find a C to play with him, probably trade one of our young D in a package for the best young center we could get. I could see trading Carlo or Lauzon for a C in that situation, which is not something I want to do but it's probably a move we would have to make, either that or not sign Hall and trade off a couple more forwards for picks. If Krejci decides to go somewhere else we would really need to explore our options.If Krejci leaves for Columbus do we even bother signing Hall? No one can really center him on the roster.

Horton went there for the white picket fence and school systemsSomeone go find Krejci's kids and ask them how much they like zoos. Personally, I'm more of an aquarium guy myself, but to each his own.

Krejci can get all that and Patrik Laine who’s younger then Hall and since he doesn’t back check all that much will make it easier for Krejci to know where he is
That’s a Claude reference ~ but I listened to Nick Kyprios podcast with Doug MacLean and when discussing the Jake DeBrusk struggles brought up the lack of development of guys like Frederic & Studnicka and it didn’t take a tree surgeon to know this was directed at Cassidy - agree @Saxon EricWhy do you say this Dan?
I expect Krejci back but if a guy like jarmo tossed 2/15 at Krejci, Boston has a decisionI could see Krejci choosing a team in FL. Much warmer than boring Ohio but I think Boston is a good place and he'll stay there as long as they keep Taylor "Mike Bossy" Hall
Laine is really, really bad.If Krejci leaves for Columbus do we even bother signing Hall? No one can really center him on the roster. May be time to rebuild

That’s a pipe dream. Barkov is going nowhere.Yes, you re-sign Hall and then hope Barkov makes it to FA in the summer of 2022.
Krejci isn’t going anywhere.I think Hall follows Krejci whereever he goes. He knows an elite center when he see's one im sure
