1. Give Taylor Hall all the money in the world

Ever since he has come to Boston, Taylor Hall has become a completely different player. He is once again reaching his potential and showing just how great of a player he is.

Hall scored his second goal of the postseason and it was a beauty. He showed all his skill and made a highlight goal look easy. It brought Boston back into the game and injected some much needed life into the Bruins bench.

Hall has seamlessly fit into the second line. At this point, it seems hard to imagine him not on the Bruins. We are finally seeing what Hall can do now that he is on a contender.

Now it will likely cost to keep Hall but honestly it’s worth whatever Boston has to spend. He has energized Boston’s second line and seems to be the perfect pairing for David Krejci or whoever plays center next season.
