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

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.

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.

Here are two early landing spots for Blackhawks winger Taylor Hall ahead of the 2025 NHL Trade Deadline in March.

The Blackhawks acquired Hall and now-captain Nick Foligno from the Bruins on June 26, 2023, to be a mentor and potential linemate 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.

Among those, the two highest valued rental players will likely be Taylor Hall and Ryan Donato. Both players are expected to fetch around a third round pick at the trade deadline, which isn't exactly encouraging considering the Blackhawks are a clear seller,

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.
