    Default Taylor Hall is signing with Buffalo Sabres

    Well...that's a shocker. I didnt see Buffalo as a landing spot for him.

    He must be backing his truck into Pegula's bank vault. Id need $9 M AAV to go there.
    Eichel with Hall sounds pretty scary.

    Cap is not going up next year. It will be flat for atleast a few years until everything returns to normal. If it takes 2 years to get back to normal, Hall is probably not the same player then. I think players should get paid when they can, why take that chance now

    Wow, did not expect Buffalo. That said, there can't be many teams with the cap space even for a one year deal at $8M (once teams fill out their rosters). One thing is for certain, Hall will be motivated to have a great year.

    Gun to my head, he shifts to RW. Shouldn't be on the 3rd line.

    I don't see Olofsson and Skinner working on a line. They're both shooters and not grinders. That would put a lot of pressure on Staal to do everything else himself. I could however see:

    Skinner-Eichel-Reinhart
    Hall-Staal-Olofsson

    IF they intended on playing the big guys on separate lines.

    Capfriendly says Hall got a NTC-NMC. Hopefully the Sabres can covert Hall into some useful assets at the deadline.
