Taylor Hall returns to Edmonton after big trade, says bitterness fading
EDMONTON — Taylor Hall returned to Edmonton on Wednesday to a rink he never played in as he prepared to face an Oilers team that embraced him in the down years only to dump him to get better.
Hall said the initial frustration, and the bitterness, is fading.
“A lot of guys want to be traded. A lot of guys are anxious to leave their teams. I wasn’t,” Hall said after he and the other New Jersey Devils finished practice at Rogers Place.
“(But) in saying that. I’m really enjoying my time in Jersey. They’ve made me one of their key guys and it’s on me to produce and play well, and I enjoy that pressure.”
