Morning, folks!
It’ll a super busy morning for you fine readers in terms of just how much volume you’ll need to wade through to get yourselves caught up.
It wasn’t like anything notable happened — yet — but we’re a couple sleeps out from the 2020 NHL Draft and something notable just might here in the next little while:
Sources say the Arizona Coyotes are shopping the rights to Taylor Hall.

Well, hello there!
Obviously the Oilers would be foolish to be out on Taylor Hall, but should they spring for the exclusive negotiation window?
Probably not, right? If they know he’s going to sign on Day 1 anyway, there’s no sense in paying for the opportunity to sign him on Day -1.
Though, there probably are deals that I could get on board with:
I’ll give you Kris Russell for the rights to Hall... https://t.co/DwvOovWCQ5

Or perhaps Edmonton could interest you in one James Neal, whose goal scoring (and absolutely nothing else at this stage of their careers) is comparable to Hall’s over the last two years? Or the aforementioned Russell, whose contract might actually be attractive to a team like ARI this off-season?
