Before I get into the Hall situation, I wanted to invite you to check out today's "Cranky Hockey Writers Show" today where we talk coaching changes and get treated to some amazing old Bob Johnson stories from Eric Duhatschek and Kevin Allen...





Is Taylor Hall really ACTUALLY available?

I talked to three teams over the past two days and none of them believe he is at this time, nor do they see him becoming available....and yet the rumors are becoming rampant.

The Bruins, Leafs, Sabres and Penguins are being mentioned. Those saying Hall is un-coachable also have many scratching their heads. Hall is a leader and while he does make some mistakes in his own zone they are mistakes almost always stemming from trying to do too much on a team always in need of.....well, too much.

The rumors are all coming back to Edmonton getting several pieces for one.

And beyond all of this...How does a team who as been too afraid to pull the trigger on a Yakupov trade suddenly get the gumption to move Taylor Hall?

What do you think?

Should the Oilers move Hall?

We will discuss all this and more on today's HockeyBuzzCast....
