Taylor Hall hasn’t had the best of luck since his arrival in Chicago, as the 2017-2018 Hart Trophy Winner experienced an injury in November that ended his season.
That injury occurred when he injured his ACL and would have surgery which would put him out of the regular lineup.
He was last seen skating again near the end of the season, and in rehab, as we expect him to return healthy to the Blackhawks lineup.
He returned to skating on March 8th, and with hope will be a big part of the Blackhawks’ next push into the competitive sphere in the NHL.
With the acquisition of Tyler Bertuzzi, Teuvo Teraveinen, and Ilya Mikheyev there’s no shortage of offensive talent available for Hall to work with.
– Taylor Hall may not be the Hart Trophy contender that he once was but don’t underestimate what he’ll bring to the 2024-25 Chicago Blackhawks if he stays healthy. –

While we must acknowledge he may not be the winger he once was with the Edmonton Oilers and New Jersey Devils, he has a function here. As a mentor, and as a competitor to make the Blackhawks the best they can be.
If we could see a return to his play in 2021-2022, where he posted 61 points( 20 G, 41 A) it would be a significant push to the Blackhawks and push us further in the Central Division.
