If you told me I absolutely had to manufacture one complaint about Taylor Hall from during his award winning season it would be that the monstrous balls he was dragging throughout his 26 game point streak presumably got in the way of the toe of his stick when he had the unmitigated gall to attempt that exact same "now you see it, now you don't"-type move at full speed with a defender on his back while in the middle of a playoff race against the then back-to-back Stanley Cup Champions...
Therefore, I guess you could say he's spent his offseason doing what all great players do in working out a particular kink in their game. Apparently those kinks get pretty, pretty small when you're voted the MVP of the entire league, as Taylor Hall appears to have honed his offseason efforts into making goaltenders look more and more shameful with a higher rate of success. I can't say I had any concerns about him working to get better, but I'll never not be made more comfortable by watching him make goalies look even worse with hands that certainly haven't cooled off since lifting the Hart Trophy.
