A major trade proposal between the Maple Leafs and Chicago Blackhawks
A trade proposal was recently put out on the internet, as the Toronto Maple Leafs would add a goal-scorer to their lineup in Taylor Hall.
The deal would send Hall to the Maple Leafs, who are in their Stanley Cup window and with the forward core unaddressed, we used PuckPedia's "PuckGM" to make a deal.
Maple Leafs get:
Taylor Hall ($3 million retained)
Blackhawks get:
2025 second-round pick (Florida's)
The proposal sends Hall to Toronto, with GM Kyle Davidson retaining $3 Million in salary as they in return would receive Florida's 2025 2nd round pick.
The pick would help keep the Blackhawks rebuild flush with talent, and as he is entering the final year of his deal with the Blackhawks, he could be moved before the trade deadline.
Hall only played 10 games with the Blackhawks before being injured and scoring 4 points( 2 G, 2 A).
He sustained an season ending injury which required surgery, but not before returning for two-games before being shutdown.
«He's very disappointed,» Blackhawks head coach Luke Richardson said. «(It) just came from an accumulation of a bunch of little injuries and the game and even in practice the other day, and it just became unstable that they have to fix that now
«A guy just pulled him down. Just a nothing play and just the way he fell on it, it was one of the last straws,» Richardson added. «Then he tried to get through it and in practice he caught a rut and that finalized it.»
Chicago acquired Hall with Nick Foligno, in a trade on June 26th, 2023 in return for Alec Regula and Ian Mitchell.
Hall won the Hart Trophy in 2018 and has played for the Arizona Coyotes, Boston Bruins, Buffalo Sabres, Chicago Blackhawks, and New Jersey Devils in his career.
