This former Boston Bruins forward could become a popular trade target this season.
Former Boston Bruins forward Taylor Hall is healthy again after playing in just 10 games last season for the Chicago Blackhawks. So far, the 2010 first-overall pick has had a bit of a slow start to the campaign, recording one goal, one assist, and a minus-5 rating in his first six games. However, as he continues to shake off the rust, he undoubtedly has the potential to heat up.
If Hall regains his form and picks up his offensive numbers, he could become an incredibly popular player in the trade market as we get closer to the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline. With Hall being in the final season of his contract and the Blackhawks rebuilding, he could be a valuable trade piece for Chicago as a rental.
Teams are always looking for more offense once the playoffs are near, and Hall provides that when playing at his best. The Bruins know that well, as the 6-foot-1 winger had 44 goals and 111 points in 158 games with the club over three seasons. He also, of course, memorably won the Hart Memorial Trophy back in 2017-18.
Taylor HallGiven Hall's skill and overall experience, he should have an array of suitors if he is made available for trade this season. It will be fascinating to see what happens with the former Bruin from here.
