Taylor Hall Was Traded Due To A Blockbuster In The Works?
Amidst rumors surrounding Tyler Bertuzzi's desire to explore free agency, it is unlikely that the Taylor Hall trade was a mere cap dump without a clear strategy.
The Boston Bruins, under the leadership of Don Sweeney, have displayed a calculated playbook in their decision-making.
»Again�and in reference to reports of Bertuzzi wanting to test free agency�I don't think Taylor Hall was cap dumped for two RFA defensemen without a plan. That's not exactly a move from the Evan Gold and Don Sweeney playbook we've seen. Free agency hasn't even started.»
It is premature to jump to conclusions, especially considering that the free agency period has not yet commenced.
Judging from their past moves, it is safe to assume that the Bruins have a well-thought-out plan in place, ready to unfold in due time.
