Bruins acquire Taylor Hall from Sabres

Bruins acquire Taylor Hall from Sabres.
The biggest prize on the trade market has been snapped up.

TSN's Darren Dreger reports the Sabres are also sending Curtis Lazar to Boston in exchange for Anders Bjork and a second-round draft pick.

Hall waived his no-movement clause in order to facilitate the trade, a condition he worked into his contract upon signing a one-year, $8 million deal with the Sabres in October 2020.
This is an unqualified success for the Bruins, having landed a former Hart Trophy winner for a fraction of the perceived cost.
Hall was in the midst of a down year with the Sabres, posting two goals and 19 points in 37 games, but his underlying numbers – a 52.84 Corsi For percentage, 53.03 Fenwick For percentage and 52.76 expected goals for percentage – suggest he's still a high-end player stuck on a team incapable of generating offense, and the anemic Sabres certainly fit the bill.
