    He’s playing for a team that has a strong culture and top notch leadership. He doesn’t need to be the superstar. People aren’t looking to Taylor haul to lead the way, if anything he is looking to guys like Bergeron/Marchand/Krejci to lead the way.

    So essentially yes, he needed to be moved off the first line but not necessarily because of play related issues, because he isn’t a leader (yet anyway, the mentorship in Boston could change that)

    I dont think its as simple as Hall playing on the second line, its being on a stacked team so he doesnt have to do everything. In his MVP-year, everything went right for him and they still got bounced in 5. A sign of a good team is still winning even if their best players are having an off night. It just so happens on this squad Hall is on the second line, just means the team is stacked.
    One day I will quit fantasy hockey, today is not that day.
