Ranking the Top Five Hall Passes

Following the 2015-16 season, Devils GM Ray Shero orchestrated a blockbuster deal that brought Taylor Hall from Edmonton to New Jersey, filling a much-needed playmaking role. Hallsy used his great speed and unique skill-set to become the Devils team-leader in assists (33) and was the co-leader in total points (53pts, tied with Kyle Palmieri).
