Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall made a sincere statement about Connor Bedard, and the rest of the team after overtime loss against the Carolina Hurricanes.
Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall made a revealing comment about his future with Connor Bedard and the franchise ahead of the NHL trade deadline.
The Chicago Blackhawks squandered two leads and couldn’t hold the Carolina Hurricanes at bay during a 4-3 overtime loss Monday at the United Center. Goalie Petr Mrázek faced 48 shots — the most the Hawks have allowed this season — and made 44 saves.
The Chicago Blackhawks are not playing good hockey this season. The Blackhawks made major moves in NHL Free Agency to improve the supporting cast around Connor Bedard. Moreover, former Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall was set to return after the veteran winger missed most of 2023-24 with an injury.
According to the Athletic, the Blackhawks could get third-round picks for the pending UFAs. Donato is currently on pace to set a career high in goals and points, and Hall, who isn’t having as productive of a season as he has in the past, had found his game for a bit when playing with Bedard.
Taylor Hall is a depth player at this point in his NHL career. He isn’t the number one pick/Hart Trophy winner he once was but he can still contribute offense at a medium level. A contender with high-end scoring at the top of the lineup would love to add a guy like Hall to the middle-six.
Since Connor Bedard was selected as the No. 1 overall pick in the 2023 NHL Draft, the Chicago Blackhawks have done what they can to accommodate the young superstar by surrounding him with the best available talent. Heading into this season, they added 2010 first-overall pick and 2018 Hart Trophy winner Taylor Hall to help mentor Bedard.
