Taylor Strba Hall (born November 14, 1991 in Calgary , Alberta ) is a Canadian ice hockey player who has been under contract with the Arizona Coyotes from the National Hockey League since December 2019 . The left winger was selected in the 2010 NHL Entry Draft in first overall position by the Edmonton Oilers and was active for the team for six years in the following. He then moved to the New Jersey Devils , in whose service he was honored in 2018 with the Hart Memorial Trophy as the most valuable player in the NHL. With the Canadian national team he won the gold medal at the 2015 and 2016 World Championships .

Career

youth

Taylor Hall was selected in the OHL Priority Selection Draft 2007 in the first round in second position by the Windsor Spitfires . In his rookie season with the team in the 2007/08 game year, he completed a total of 68 games and reached 89 points. His 45 hits were the most of a rookie in 16 years. As a result, he was honored with the Emms Family Award as the best rookie of the year and was also appointed to the all-rookie team. The season was crowned with the award for CHL Rookie of the Year . Also in his second season in Windsor, the attacking player acted as one of the team's key players and was one of the permanent staff. He was able to improve his points and was particularly positive in the play-offs . Because of his convincing performance, he was recognized as the most valuable player in the finals and received the Wayne Gretzky 99 Award . In the last OHL final game he scored the winning goal for his team against the Brampton Battalion , which won the J. Ross Robertson Cup . In 2009 he also won the Memorial Cup with Windsor , of which Hall was the most valuable player . In the 2009/10 season he again managed to increase his points and win the second J. Ross Robertson Cup and Memorial Cup in a row with the team. Hall was again awarded the Stafford Smythe Memorial Trophy in the Memorial Cup and also received the Ed Chynoweth Trophy as a top scorer. In the OHL season he had already shared the Eddie Powers Memorial Trophy with Tyler Seguin as the top scorer with 106 points.

Edmonton Oilers

After these appealing performances, he was classified by the NHL Central Scouting Service and International Scouting Service for the NHL Entry Draft 2010 behind Tyler Seguin on the second place outfield player in North America. In the talent draw that took place on June 25, 2010, he was finally selected as the overall first by the Edmonton Oilers . On July 5, 2010, he signed a three-year contract with the Oilers at the maximum conditions for a rookie . For the 2010/11 season he succeeded the immediate jump into the NHL roster of the Edmonton Oilers and he made his debut on October 7, 2010 in the encounter against the Calgary Flames . For the 2011 NHL All-Star Game , he was nominated as one of twelve rookies who took part in the Honda NHL SuperSkills . On February 19, 2011, Hall scored his first hat trick in the National Hockey League against the Atlanta Thrashers , scoring three times in power play . On March 3, 2011, he achieved his first Gordie Howe hat trick when the striker scored a goal and an assist in the game against the Columbus Blue Jackets and fought a fight with Derek Dorsett . In this fight Hall suffered an ankle injury that resulted in the end of the season for him.

New Jersey and Arizona

In June 2016, the Oilers handed him over to the New Jersey Devils and received Adam Larsson in return , a transfer that was assessed both at that time and retrospectively as being strongly one-sided in favor of the Devils. Especially since Hall increased his personal statistics significantly to 93 points scorer in the 2017/18 season and thus achieved his best performance of his career to date. In addition, as the Devils' best scorer, he played a key role in New Jersey reaching the playoffs for the first time in six years. At the end of the season he became the first player in the Devils to receive the Hart Memorial Trophy as the most valuable player in the league, while he was also elected to the NHL First All-Star team .

Hall missed large parts of the following season 2018/19 due to a knee injury, before the Devils continued the negative sporting trend of the previous year at the start of the 2019/20 season and dismissed head coach John Hynes if they did not succeed . All in all, this meant that Hall's extension of his contract in New Jersey, which expired in summer 2020, became increasingly unlikely and rumors of an impending transfer were established. This was confirmed in mid-December 2019 when he and Blake Speers were handed over to the Arizona Coyotes . In return, the Devils received the young players Nick Merkley , Nate Schnarr and Kevin Bahl , a conditional first-round vote for the NHL Entry Draft 2020 and an equally conditional third-round vote for the NHL Entry Draft 2021 . The first-round voting right is lottery protected , so it is automatically postponed by one year if it falls into the top three positions as a result of the draft lottery. The conditions for third-round voting are that the Coyotes win at least one round in the 2020 playoffs and that Hall signs a new contract in Arizona in the summer of 2020. If one of these is fulfilled, the pick becomes a right to vote for the second round; if both conditions are met, the third round even becomes a first round right to vote. In addition, the Devils continue to pay half of Hall's salary.

International

On an international level, Hall played for the first time in the World U-17 Hockey Challenge at the turn of the year 2007/08. As a member of the Ontario Province team , he won the gold medal.

Just four months later, the left winger played at the U18 Junior World Championship in 2008 . There he played for his home country for the first time. To win the gold medal again, Hall contributed nine points in seven games. Finally, in August of the same year, he won gold at the prestigious Ivan Hlinka Memorial Tournament 2008 . After Hall was not considered for the U20 World Junior Championship in 2009 , he took part in the tournament for the first time in 2010 . He was able to record six goals and assists in six games, making him third-best scorer in the competition. After a final defeat against the United States, the Canadians had to be content with the silver medal for the first time since 2004.

After representing the senior national team at the 2013 World Cup , he won the gold medal with the team at the 2015 World Cup and repeated this success the following year .
