Report: Sabres, Hall interested in negotiating extension

Taylor Hall doesn't appear too concerned about the Buffalo Sabres' slow start to the season.

The star forward is reportedly open to exploring his future with the club.

"There is mutual interest between Taylor Hall, his camp, and the Buffalo Sabres to discuss an extension when the time is right," TSN's Pierre LeBrun said on Thursday's edition of "Insider Trading."

Hall is a pending unrestricted free agent. He signed a one-year, $8-million contract with the Sabres in October.

In a normal season, players on one-year pacts can begin negotiating new contracts on Jan. 1. The NHL moved that date to March 12 for the 2021 campaign. This year's trade deadline is April 12.

Hall entered Thursday's action with one goal but ranked second on the team with eight assists and third in points through 12 games.

The Sabres came into Thursday's contest against the Washington Capitals in last place in the East Division.
