Hearing #NHLBruins have made meaningful progress with pending UFA Taylor Hall.

Expectation is Hall will indeed remain in Boston after the signing moratorium is lifted. Wouldn't be surprised to see a deal in the 4 years x $6 million neighborhood.

Stay tuned. @DFOHockey

Oilers will re-engage with Tyson Barrie. There’s been preliminary discussion…expected to intensify with Larsson leaving. Term is going to be the sticking point for Barrie. Don’t think the Oil want to go to 5 years. Does 4 x $5mil get it done?
