Bruins Acquire Taylor Hall from Sabres

The Boston Bruins have long pursued Taylor Hall, and they have finally gotten their guy.

The Bruins have acquired Hall and Curtis Lazar from the Buffalo Sabres in exchange for Anders Bjork and a 2021 second-round pick. That’s not a very hefty price tag for Hall, who has made four All-Star teams throughout his career.

He also won the Hart Memorial Trophy back in 2017-18, which is handed out annually to the most valuable player in the league.

Hall had a quiet season in 2020-21, racking up just two goals through 37 games, but the Sabres are one of the worst teams in the league. He should definitely see an uptick in production playing alongside more talented teammates. The Sabres will also retain 50% of Hall’s remaining salary, so this trade seems like a slam-dunk for the Bruins.

The Bruins are currently listed at +1600 to win the Stanley Cup on FanDuel Sportsbook, which gives them the eighth-shortest odds in the field.
