Hall broke down the timeline of the blockbuster trade from his perspective Thursday. He claimed he's "definitely a better player than the amount I was playing" during his final weeks in Chicago.

Veteran forward Taylor Hall has joined his seventh team last week, as he was included in the blockbuster three-team trade between the Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes; he was traded from Chicago to Carolina, and it's a move that he approves of.

RALEIGH, N.C. — In the weeks leading up to his trade to Carolina, Taylor Hall repeatedly said he wanted to stay in Chicago, that he wanted to be a part of what the Blackhawks were building, that he wanted to settle down in one city in the twilight of his peripatetic career.

According to Elliotte Friedman, there were a couple of reasons for how the trade went down and the involvement of the Blackhawks. Hall's value was less than a third-round pick and

The Chicago Blackhawks ended up trading Taylor Hall away. However, there is a source that believes that they tried to keep him.

As Chicago's rebuild moves forward, the three-team blockbuster trade is about the major details, not the minor ones.

The Chicago Blackhawks today announced that the team has acquired a third-round selection in the 2025 NHL Draft from the Carolina Hurricanes in exchange for forward Taylor Hall. Chicago will also retain 50 percent of Mikko Rantanen’s salary cap hit as part of the trade.

Taylor Hall seems to be fitting in nicely with his new team, the Carolina Hurricanes. He has now played two games after being traded by the Chicago Blackhawks and just recorded his first point in his second game that came against the New York Rangers.

Getting a 3rd round pick from the Hurricanes gives the Blackhawks nine total selections in the upcoming draft.

The Hawks will receive a third-round draft pick, but the Hurricanes' acquisition of Mikko Rantanen from the Avalanche is the far bigger part of the trade Friday, per reports.

When the Chicago Blackhawks last played the Carolina Hurricanes, Taylor Hall suited up for them. He will be on the other bench tonight after being traded to Carolina last Friday. The trade came just a few days after the former Hart Trophy winner lamented staying on with the Blackhawks beyond this season.
