Veteran winger, Taylor Hall will be another offensive weapon that Luke Richardson could use, as he's been cleared to play during training camp.
Hall was a part of the package deal which saw himself and Nick Foligno arrive in the Windy City, for Ian Mitchell, and Alec Regula.
Hall would only have the chance to play ten games with the Blackhawks before he suffered a knee injury that required season-ending surgery.
He would average 16:20 TOI with the Blackhawks in ten games, scoring 4 points( 2 G, 2 A), and was brought here, along with Foligno to mentor Bedard.
He will likely serve a bigger role in 2024-2025, and hopefully be a big contributor this season for the club.
He could still end up being a 20-goal scorer in Chicago, and with a better lineup than 2023-2024, this could be a realistic expectation.
If he plays alongside Bedard and is utilized on the power play his stats could increase monumentally as well.
We're not 100% sure of how Hall will be utilized, but it's great to see him healthy and ready to go.
