It's why he gets traded all the time, however. His only move is to fly down the boards and cut to the net (or throw the puck to the middle of he can't cut to the net). In today's NHL, it's hard to earn your keep if you're not a multidimensional player. An easy trade option when trying to better the entire team and its systems.
I remember meeting him back in 2010 at the WJC training camp in Regina. Even at that point, he was a super awesome guy who had loads of pressure on him. Really pulling for him in Carolina.
Thank you Taylor Hall! I really wish it could have worked out with the hawks. For your sake I’m rooting for Carolina for the next few years. You’ve always been one of the most underrated players in my opinion, and I want you to raise the cup!
I still recall an interview with him as an Oilers player when they were deep in the weeds..complaints chaos and he said actually he would prefer to remain in Edmonton and work toward better results..less than a year later he was traded to New Jersey. That was a time when no one wanted to play in Edmonton. He was disappointed in the trade initially and management encouraged him to see he could be impactful with Devils.
I think Tyler Toffoli could relate well to all of this, he's also on his 7th team, similar stage in his career and he clearly valued the stability of a NTC in San Jose over signing with the best team he could. These guys are professional about it but moving around that much has got to be brutal.
I’m waiting Hall,Aho, Rantanen to play in the first shift together asap! Rantanen is so good, Aho is genius and Hall being the MVP of the league a couple of years back! They will be sooo dangerous 👏🏼💪🏼
I gotta be honest - when I was a kid and dreamed of being in the NHL I dreamed of playing for every single team at least once because I thought it would be so cool to have my number on every team’s jersey for a souvenir when I retired. 😂😂😂
He could have negotiated no trade or no movement clauses in his contract but that would have eaten into his earnings. He clearly values money foremost.
Pretty simple. If Hall is sick of being traded he can play better so he'll have more leverage in his next contract, he can learn to accept it or he can retire.
god love Pyotr Pokecheckov Edit: I hope Hall doesn't think too much on being traded a lot. Mike Sillinger got traded 10 times and (from what I remember) everyone loved him everywhere he went.
maybe he should play well enough to become untradeable then..or maybe it's a personality thing.....Jersey traded him after he won a Heart Trophy.... so I do wonder why he is so tradeable
Fun fact. When Taylor hall played for Edmonton he had housekeepers who absolutely hated him because he would shit on the floor and make them clean it up.
If he is sick of being traded play like the money you are signed to play and teams will keep u. Us Bruins fans miss having on a team but his numbers didn't match his salary the problem is is he thinks he's more valuable than he actually is worth is it good hockey player not a great hockey player
He was one of the best players in that panthers series. Tied with pasta for most goals in it. This about that Pasta makes 11 mil a year and Hall makes 6. His contract is fine. Don Sweeney created a cap mess by going all in at the deadline that year which had to happen so he had to go. It’s just business.
I worked with a guy that use to be employed by the oilers in an office environment! This was before he was traded, he said he was a giant POS!! Stage 4 locker room cancer! This is why he has been traded and will continue to be traded. You would think the Flames would try and get him, being a hometown kid.🤔
If you're sick of being traded, stop being locker room cancer. 7th team now. Each time you are traded, it's because the team you are on, doesn't want you. Might be something more than just "bad luck" there.
Word on the streets says he’s a cocaine user and a party guy maybe not anymore since he has a kid, but I don’t know. Gotta be a reason why he keeps moving from team to team. The guy changes teams more than I change my socks.
You guys seem to know a lot about the inner workings and behind the scenes. Tell me how you managed to gain access to all these locker rooms and team gatherings to formulate these opinions? Quite jealous tbh
lol players don’t get moved around like him cause he’s a great player. Great players don’t get moved as much as him. Y’all are simps and glazing this dude for no reason other than to get a few likes on UA-cam
Hall has played 880 games has 722 points and a +- of -42 !! He is a defensive liability doesn’t play tough or hard and he just floats around waiting for the puck ! Coaches realize that he isn’t worth the money or ice time!
I asked him who he would rather go to on his draft day. Edmonton had 1st overall, Boston had 2nd. Edmonton was worst team in league and Boston was Cup contender. He gave me a "it doesn't matter" answer. I guess it does matter. 😂😂😂
What? Why are you comparing a 18 year old Hall who hasn't made the NHL yet and is happy to get drafted anywhere, to a 33 year old Hall who is almost ready to retire and now wants to win a cup? of course it matters now...
@ That's a good point, but when you aren't drafted in the NHL yet, then it's a privilege to play for any team. When you are young, you can wait for the team to rebuild. He waited for it in Edmonton, and Edmonton traded him sometime after getting Mcdavid. It's not really Halls fault there.
@Zaeld If you don't understand that it's simply a diplomatic cliche answer, I don't know what to tell you. He was practically guaranteed a cup in Boston and a guaranteed last place if he went to Edmonton. Every hockey player on the planet knows Boston was the right answer, and the truthful answer. Nobody wants to go to shit team. They just don't. I'd only make exception on favourite childhood team. I hate Boston and I would have rather won a cup in Boston, then start out career on any other bad team...EXCEPT my favourite team.
People this guy is broken!! It was a blessing Chicago ditched his paycheck. He skated like horse shit and played even worst. He is chandelier!! Wish Carolina would have taken Jones paycheck as well and the GM. This is Halls last dance in the NHL
He looks really good on the canes so far
I'm beyond impressed after 2 games. He's killing it with KK and Svech.
He is really good, and he plays hard. As a hockey player myself, I liked him on the Hawks, but it's had to get points on a garbage team.
@@wheelsupbardown Agree. He looks like a great fit for Hurricanes.
@@talkichikkilling it💯💯
Big and fast plays well on any team.
Miss him on the B's. He was great in transitioning the puck. Would love to sign him in the offseason
If he had gone second overall instead of first he'd have been a Bruin for a long time.
he has looked awesome in Carolina.. flying down the boards and insane passing. Can see him sticking

Good luck Taylor! You had good impact in Chicago and it was cool to have you here for a while. Hope you guys get a good run in the playoffs 👏

He might get it this year I think we’re kinda stacked 👀
After losing to NY in 7 last season, the game lastnight wasn’t even close 😋
@@bigbeast008 It was six actually. I remember that night all too well :(

Really wish the Bruins still had him. I do hope he wins a Cup soon
Love the questions and Hall’s openness
I have always loved the guy and he could be on my Team any day. He never takes a day off!
I think Tyler Toffoli could relate well to all of this, he's also on his 7th team, similar stage in his career and he clearly valued the stability of a NTC in San Jose over signing with the best team he could. These guys are professional about it but moving around that much has got to be brutal.
I'm sure they can put up with moving around in their 30s when they you retire at 40 with millions of dollars to their name.
oil, nj, az, sabres, b's, hawks, canes. 7 teams so far for hall. That has to be a record number of teams for a former no. one pick to have played for.
And Tampa bay
@@stefan1132he never played for Tampa
@not yet.
@@OilFan702 oh sorry I thought he did
@@stevenbauer4799 war do I mean
can we not all ignore that when he mentioned "all the Great D-men" on chicago he listed 5 and not one of them was seth jones. 11:26
He also didn't mention Bedard and the question was if they have the pieces to turn Chicago into a good team, he flipped it to D Men.
Derrick Rose of the NHL
I’m waiting Hall,Aho, Rantanen to play in the first shift together asap! Rantanen is so good, Aho is genius and Hall being the MVP of the league a couple of years back! They will be sooo dangerous 👏🏼💪🏼
Best of luck! Go canes
Wishing Taylor a Stanley Cup Final....
no
Such a smart guy
Taylor Hall drafted No. 1 overall yet it was No. 2 overall Tyler Sequin with a Stanley Cup ring.
Being drafted by a competent franchise will get you results. Edmonton during the Decade of Darkness….not so much
Good chance if Hall went to Boston, they’d still have won.
A great Spitfires alumni
"KC Chiefs make no mistakes"
Well, none that they are punished for.
I gotta be honest - when I was a kid and dreamed of being in the NHL I dreamed of playing for every single team at least once because I thought it would be so cool to have my number on every team’s jersey for a souvenir when I retired. 😂😂😂
Wish him the best of luck and hope he gets his Cup.
He could have negotiated no trade or no movement clauses in his contract but that would have eaten into his earnings. He clearly values money foremost.
We’ll treat ya well Mr. Hall!
Did you guys put all his jerseys in the background on purpose or was that the hockey gods?
He was also born in Calgary... hockey gods indeed.
TH is one of my all time Favorite Players!
Pretty simple. If Hall is sick of being traded he can play better so he'll have more leverage in his next contract, he can learn to accept it or he can retire.
guy is going to play on every team.
nice interview, always respectful. Hope he can settle down in carolina in a longer perspective. For me definitely a W for the Canes !
god love Pyotr Pokecheckov
Edit: I hope Hall doesn't think too much on being traded a lot. Mike Sillinger got traded 10 times and (from what I remember) everyone loved him everywhere he went.
He played his best years in Jersey trying to prove to Edmonton that it was a terrible trade. After he got the Hart he just basically gave up.
Win a cup and become a Canes legend then everyone forgets about some old trades.
Don't get hurt and make yourself useful and you won't get traded.
What pro Sport did you play, expert....
yeah and you upset Taylors BF
Sometimes "career" is a verb, not a noun.
Taylor Hall, good Calgary boy!
In YEG entering the luggage hall he was the first thing you saw back in the day. Then Conner came along….
The Hart (that shouldve gone to Mackinnon) was the worst thing to ever happen to him.
Set expectations too high.
I bet he loves not playing babysitter for Bedard anymore lol
He was absolute dogshit on the Hawks. Falls down more than anyone on the team and we have some shit skaters.
He should've just been drafted by the Bruins
If he just stayed in New Jersey…
Damn was hoping he go back to oilers
maybe he should play well enough to become untradeable then..or maybe it's a personality thing.....Jersey traded him after he won a Heart Trophy.... so I do wonder why he is so tradeable
Fun fact. When Taylor hall played for Edmonton he had housekeepers who absolutely hated him because he would shit on the floor and make them clean it up.
Come back to EDM this summer King. We need you for the when we are gunning for the B2B next year
too early to be drinking sir.....
Eberle too
@@marquisduhsade Heck, bring back Griffin Reinhart!
See you in May
Teams Want You ? Thats Why You Get Traded !
Well theres a reason why...
Hall should rejoin Oilers
Is he on his sixth team now?
Says alot.
let me get this straight, he's excited?
If he is sick of being traded play like the money you are signed to play and teams will keep u. Us Bruins fans miss having on a team but his numbers didn't match his salary the problem is is he thinks he's more valuable than he actually is worth is it good hockey player not a great hockey player

Cmon, signs with Buffalo and Chicago and is sick of being traded?
WHAT AN NHL PLAYER IS A HOCKEY FAN? *mind blown*
I’m sure he doesn’t mind his salary.
Locker room cancer
Heard he got traded out of Edmonton so he wouldnt spoil young McDavid.
I worked with a guy that use to be employed by the oilers in an office environment! This was before he was traded, he said he was a giant POS!! Stage 4 locker room cancer! This is why he has been traded and will continue to be traded. You would think the Flames would try and get him, being a hometown kid.🤔
This guy is fishing hardddddddd to get some clips😂😂😂😂😂😂
Bedard needs to get traded to a cup aspiring team aswell, chicago is going to spoil his potential its sad
If you're sick of being traded, stop being locker room cancer.
7th team now. Each time you are traded, it's because the team you are on, doesn't want you. Might be something more than just "bad luck" there.

The hate is real, ugh 🤣
Boring questions boys… setting him up for obvious answers.
Well when you suck, you suck.
Behaviour perhaps? Folks in Edmonton know all about him
Hall has played 880 games has 722 points and a +- of -42 !! He is a defensive liability doesn’t play tough or hard and he just floats around waiting for the puck ! Coaches realize that he isn’t worth the money or ice time!
using plus-minus in the year 2025... you're embarassing yourself
canes just put eric staals number in the rafters and he's a -80 career player so
CAR vs EDM 2025 Stanley Cup Final: Hall wins Conn Smyrhe and beats his former Oiler team.

🤧
Should be happy hes a millionaire and stfu
he will end his career with or without a Cup. So sad.
He will end his career having been paid how many millions of USD? So sad.
My heart bleeds.

@Zaeld Because it did matter. Tyler Seguin won a cup like the next year. Hall ain't winning no cup anywhere anymore.

he sucked for Chicago
Everyone sucks in Chicago
How can he soar when he is surrounded by turkeys. Was still doing better then half on the team
Chicago sucked for him
Chicago sucked for him*
People this guy is broken!! It was a blessing Chicago ditched his paycheck. He skated like horse shit and played even worst. He is chandelier!! Wish Carolina would have taken Jones paycheck as well and the GM. This is Halls last dance in the NHL
They didn't ditch his paycheck they retained half the salary 😂
Feel bad he’s on the carooina team. Deserves better 😢
Carolina has a great squad. He's happy to be there.
Then play better.
Look at the stats mate.
He should try playing better then.
