In this world of social media, nothing is a secret for long anymore. And it appears that an apparent good-bye party for Taylor Hall's girlfriend may have, at least partially, sparked the recent trade speculation surrounding the former MVP.
As Hall was held out of New Jersey's lineup Friday night for "precautionary reasons", his girlfriend Rachel Rush and several other Devils players' significant others including Ashlee Palmieri — wife of Devils forward Kyle Palmieri — gathered for what certainly looked like a goodbye party, complete with several posts on Instagram.
“Bon Voyage,” Ashlee Palmieri wrote on Instagram, alongside a video of Rush pouring a glass of wine.
“GIRRRRRLLLLL BYE,” wrote Kris Redmond, the girlfriend of defenseman Mirco Mueller, with the women making a toast.

Hall did not play again Saturday against Arizona, which coincidentally seems to be the front-runner for acquiring his services. It's expected a trade will be announced soon as the Holiday roster freeze comes into effect on December 19th.
