Chicago Blackhawks veteran forward Taylor Hall is bracing for yet another career change. The 33-year-old winger, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, has openly acknowledged that his time with the Blackhawks may soon be coming to an end.

Taylor Hall is enjoying a resurgent campaign with the Blackhawks, but there's a good chance the veteran will be getting a change of scenery.

The Blackhawks acquired Hall and now-captain Nick Foligno from the Bruins on June 26, 2023, to be a mentor and potential line mate for Connor Bedard, Chicago's No. 1 pick in the 2023 NHL Draft. Hall missed most of last season after having surgery on his right knee in November 2023 and has played up and down the forward lines this season.

Taylor Hall’s actual black eye, courtesy of Calgary Flames forward Martin Pospisil, doesn’t hurt so much. “(Feels) good. It’s fine,” said Hall, whose right eyelid looked more red than black and had seven stitches in it.

Chicago Blackhawks left winger Taylor Hall can be a valuable contributor to a more competitive NHL team without costing too much in a trade, writes Adam Proteau.

The Chicago Blackhawks are likely to be sellers around the NHL Trade Deadline in March. Veteran winger Taylor Hall is among the trade candidates the Blackhawks could move before the 3 PM EST deadline.

Despite hopes for a longer tenure in the Windy City, Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall knows the writing is on the wall regarding his future with the organization.
