I know that not a lot of people like him or rate him, but I believe the Penguins should take a shot at Taylor Hall if they clear enough cap space this offseason. For me, he is a top 5 LW alongside Ovechkin, Panarin, Marchand and Gaudreau based on performances over the past 3 seasons. Obviously this season was a down year by his standards, he still drove offence at an elite level but his defensive play was horrendous. Generally he’s known to be a possession monster who generates a very high amount of shot attempts and chances while his expected goals against ranks in the top 30 percent amongst forwards. He is extremely fast, physical and was scoring at a 90 point rate in 2 of the last 3 seasons despite playing on weak teams. In order to sign him, they’ll need to move Bjugstad, Johnson and Hornqvist which may be difficult to accomplish, but I made a hypothetical lineup below of this scenario:
