Taylor Hall signed a one-year deal to join the Sabres in hopes of helping the team's young core take the next step under coach Ralph Krueger, whom Hall had played for previously in Edmonton.
He saw the pieces falling into place upon arriving at training camp on Jan. 1.
"Just the way Ralph wants us to play, with pace, offensively, a team that really attacks and when we don't have the puck, obviously, a team that needs to get the puck back as quickly as possible and play to our strengths," Hall said following his first practice with the team. "That's a big reason why I wanted to come here was I saw that. I saw that building and I saw that firsthand today."
Here's a look at the Sabres forward entering 2020-21.
