Chicago BlackHox carried forward the Taylor Hall in a three team deal with Colorado avalanche and Carolina storm, the team announced late Friday night.
Business involves sending halls and Mikco Renton into the storm, with Hawks maintained half of the ranton’s $ 9.25 million cap hit. One of the top forward of AVS, Rantan’s contract is ending this season.
The avalanche attained Martin Nekus and Jespery Kotkanimi as part of the deal, and the storm returned to the third round of 2025 that Hawks traded away to get the 2024 third -round pick. Hawks used the pick (number 92) that would further select Jack Princess.
The hall’s $ 6 million cap has basically a wash at the retention of the salaries ($ 4.625 million) of the hall, with a slightly forward ($ 1.375 million) and something for the hall, which ended the contract after the season It happens.
Hawks also honored the rights for 2022 draft pick Nills Jantor, a winger, storm.
The 33 -year -old hall secured his Hawks season with nine goals and 15 in 46 matches, finishing fifth in the team with 24 points. He was scratched before Friday’s game against Tampa Bay Lightning at the Joint Center.
Following the loss of 4-3 overtime, the former companions of the hall expressed mixed feelings about business.
Captain Nick Foligno said, which Boston Breins traded for hacks in 2023: “He is one of my closest friends in the league … and it is always difficult because it has family and friendships involved. .
“In the same breath, this is the business that we understand, and when you are not, where you (in standing) are going to be (in standing) and people are on ending the contracts, it is the harsh reality of those decisions that management To do it.
Added stalled forward Frank Nazar: “Hallsi was great for me. … He is a very competitive boy, so happy that he is going and capable of playing (for a claimant) and hopefully there will be a push. But he gave a lot of advice and had a lot of good things to say, so just grateful to the opportunity to play with him and is able to stay in his team. ,
It was 1½ years old for the hall in Chicago. His hox career consisted of just 56 games with 11 goals and 17 assistance.
Two summer earlier, his trade ranging from Bruce to Hawks came as a blow, but he eventually embraced as an on-iM mentor for Connor Bedard.
But the hall played only 10 games in the previous season due to shoulder and knee injuries. This season had an up-down performance, one of which included a surprising scratch in November that was from already prepared coach Luke Richardson.
The hall admitted that it was a mental shock, but later on 27 November in 11 years he tricked his first hat against the Dallas stars.
But with the team at the bottom of the standing, rumors that hooks would be on hunting for Brass Trades, only growing loud, and the hall was the major candidate. The 15 -year -old NHL veteran addressed rumors last week.
“This is a business, and I think we will see what happens,” the hall said at that time. “I am just trying to play well as a hockey as much as I can, and wherever they play me, I am going to do this.
“I came this year that a blackhock wanted to remain for the coming years. I don’t know if this is going to happen now, but I will leave that door open to ensure and understand that it is a business and the team is best for them. ,
During the difficulties of the season, the halls remained professional, said by members of the Hawks.
Interim coach Anders Sorensen said that in the hall “there was some good insight in context of ideas – especially aggressive, isn’t it? But really good supporter. He did not play as much as he wants, but we had a good conversation, so it was really that he was really It was good about everything. ”
Added to Foligno: “He came here and gave us everything he could do. He had a difficult walk, also, coming back from an ACL surgery (in his right knee) and looking for his way. … Carolina is going to get a great player. I am excited to see him to get his position and play on a team that is going to push for the playoffs. He has acquired this right. ,
Now the locker room has to be turned into life without it.
Foligno said, “Everyone is disappointed about the season at this time, where we are, but we have an opportunity, people in this room, to improve it,” Foligno said. “We have an opportunity, the next 30-game to flip the script and feel good about ourselves, so what is our attention.
“We wish Hallsi best wishes. I know that we will be in touch with him, but our attention is still in this room. ,
Hawks now has nine selections in 2025 drafts: two in the first round, two in the second, one in the third, two in the fourth, one in the fifth and one in the sixth.
