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

Let’s go back to the start of the entry draft era in 1979 and see how many top picks can compete with Hall’s growing jersey collection.

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.

Blackhawks general manager Kyle Davidson addressed his team's role in Friday's three-team trade sending Taylor Hall to the Hurricanes.

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.

Chicago Blackhawks star Connor Bedard dropped a sincere confession on the NHL blockbuster trade involving teammate Taylor Hall.

Rantanen admitted he spent a lot of time staring at the ceiling Friday night. The goal celebrations with the likes of Nathan MacKinnon and Cale Makar are no more. The bonds he made are likely unbreakable, but now it’s time to make new ones in his new home.

Carolina didn't get the win and Hall didn't get on the scoresheet, but he wasn't invisible either. He lined up on the fourth line with Jack Roslovic and Juha Jaaska and recorded three shots and one hit in 11:36 of ice time.

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.

The first major domino has fallen more than a month before the March 7 trade deadline, with Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall going to the Hurricanes and Martin Necas heading to the Avalanche in a three-team blockbuster,

The Blackhawks failed in this trade and are the suckers of the deal by not getting nearly enough for trading Taylor Hall and retaining $4.625 million on Rantanen's contract. They retained no cap on Hall's $6 million cap hit,
