Hall's agent: Re-signing with Coyotes 'absolutely a possibility'

Taylor Hall's agent, Darren Ferris, isn't ruling out the idea of the star forward staying with the Arizona Coyotes on a long-term basis.

"It's absolutely a possibility," Ferris told The Athletic's Craig Morgan. "(The recent trade) gives Arizona an opportunity that it probably would not have been afforded for him to consider in the future because you just don't know where the mindset would be at the end of the year.

"Now you get a chance to have him in there, have him get an idea of what it's like to be in Arizona, and I have the feeling with the way Hallsy approaches things that he will really like Arizona and the lifestyle there. He is going to see that, 'This might be a place where I can play for a while.'"

Hall, who will become an unrestricted free agent after this season, was traded from the New Jersey Devils to the Coyotes on Monday. He's already made an impact in the desert, recording a pair of helpers in two games thus far.

Not only do the Coyotes have a much-needed elite player in the lineup for the remainder of the campaign, but they also have a six-month headstart to convince Hall to stick around. While money will be a key factor, Ferris believes his client has landed in a solid spot.

"I think this is a good situation for Taylor," Ferris said. "You've got a great coach there. Rick Tocchet is one of my favorites. I'm glad he got the opportunity to coach in Arizona because players over the years that I've had with him love him and really like to play for him. I really think he's today's kind of coach so, again, I think this is a good situation for Taylor."
