According to Taylor Hall's agent Darren Ferris, the Arizona Coyotes haven't offered Hall a contract extension to this point.

Ferris mentioned in an interview that there were teams who had made contract offers to some of his clients. However, when he got asked if the Coyotes were one of those teams, he responded, “No.”

Hall, 28, is one of the top potential free agents this summer. The former Hart Trophy winner has 16 goals and 52 points in 65 games this season, split between the New Jersey Devils and the Arizona Coyotes. Hall was acquired by the Coyotes in a massive trade with the Devils in December. The trade appeared to be a good one for the Coyotes at the time, but they have since struggled and found themselves four points out of the final wild card position prior to the NHL pause.

Considering what they gave up for Hall, along with the fact they may very well miss the playoffs, it seems likely they would want to re-sign him. One possible scenario for this is that general manager John Chayka is simply waiting to see what happens with this season in terms of resuming play, as well as when free agency will begin. If Hall were to hit free agency, you can expect to hear of many teams offering him contracts.
