After signing an AHL contract earlier this year, Curtis Hall has graduated to the big leagues. The young forward has signed his three-year entry-level contract with the Boston Bruins, which will carry a cap hit of $925K. Hall’s deal starts in the 2021-22 season, which is why it had to wait until today to be announced (March 1 is the first day that entry-level contracts for next season can be filed).
Hall, 20, has actually only played in one game for the Providence Bruins so far, failing to record a point. The 119th overall pick from 2018, he spent the last two seasons at Yale University, scoring 17 goals and 27 points in just 28 games during the 2019-20 campaign. Hall was also part of Team USA at the 2020 World Junior Championship but failed to medal.
While he’s dealing with a lower-body injury right now for Providence, there’s a lot to like about Hall’s game and future in the Bruins organization. The 6’4″ forward can do a little bit of everything on the ice, but could quickly rise up the depth chart thanks to his mix of size, speed, and strength.
Even when he returns, he won’t be eligible to play for Boston this season but should get some valuable experience with Providence.
Is there a reason why he has only played in one game? (Real question) don’t get baby B’s in my area
Lower Body Injury.
Oh ty
Is there a reason his cap hit is just under $1mil?
Lower Body Injury
I would imagine that’s only if he’s in the NHL not the minors and knowing the B’s he’ll be down there till his deal is on it’s last yr
Play me the puck, Curtis Hall.
Curtis Hall.
B’s got your hockey money. Don’t fly the D zone.
