Taylor Hall (James Guillory-Imagn Images) [https://deweb-519a7.b-cdn.net/post-images/6a32d6c1-aaee-47b8-b5ba-4927a413f925.jpeg] Taylor Hall (James Guillory-Imagn Images) The Chicago Blackhawks traded Taylor Hall what seems like half a season ago, but he has now appeared in 20 games for the Carolina Hurricanes. While the Blackhawks should have gotten more for him, a third-round pick was fine as the team was looking to move on from him anyways and go with younger players. Hall is going to get his playoff run, and at a great time, he has stepped up and really found his stride with the Hurricanes, his seventh team in the NHL. The veteran has six goals and 11 points since heading to Carolina, but after just one goal and two points in his first 12 games, he has turned back the clock with five goals and nine points in his last eight games including a hat trick in his previous game against the Anaheim Ducks. Hall is on the Hurricanes' second line with Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jack Roslovic and it seems to be working. He is shooting more and hitting much more since joining his new team as not only do the Hurricanes control the puck more and get shots from everywhere, they forecheck hard and Hall has bought in. The 33-year-old has fit in well in Carolina and some will be cheering for him to raise the Stanley Cup as the Blackhawks aren't in the race this season.
