The Pros and Mostly Cons of the Coyotes trading Taylor Hall

We just got him, and yet all the talk around Taylor Hall right now is trading him from the Arizona Coyotes! Let’s dive in with the pros and cons of trading Taylor Hall.

First off let me start by saying: I did not want to even address this topic. To me, trading Taylor Hall would be a horrible decision for John Chayka and the organization in its entirety, and yet here we are.

People are calling for Hall to be traded, and a lot of other teams fans are talking about what it would take to acquire Hall from Arizona. What changed? The Arizona Coyotes acquired Taylor Hall in December, and since then the Coyotes have been anything but perfect. Hall has skated in 13 games so far with the Coyotes, and he has put up 10 points so far.

With Taylor Hall the Arizona Coyotes are 6-6-1, that really is not great, before that they were 19-12-4, and the Coyotes have not found a way to utilize Taylor Hall just yet.

One big reason Taylor Hall might not be playing the best with the Coyotes is their system. It might just take Hall more time to get used to how to play, but it also might be how Rick Tocchet likes his forwards to play.

Taylor Hall is not a player that is made to succeed through playing along the boards, and by putting the puck on net to get a rebound. Hall has a little more skill than that, so we need to find out how to utilize him effectively.

The best way to use Taylor Hall is not through trading him! We need to have him scoring goals for our team, not on another team playing! I know it might be an awesome thing to bring in some picks and some prospects by trading Taylor Hall, but just look at the impact he had last night.

Taylor Hall had a big game yesterday. Although the team did not win, Hall put up 2 points and scored the Coyotes only goal in a shoot out. Hall helped get the team in it both times. First, it was a great pass to Conor Garland, then it was a great play by Garland to get the puck to Hall.

Hall can help make the rest of this team better, and he can single-handedly steal games for the team. I would rather see Hall with the team this season than see Arizona get a few great picks, only time will tell till we find out if the Coyotes agree!
