Report: Taylor Hall getting traded to Hurricanes as part of three-team deal

According to multiple reports, Taylor Hall may be headed to the Carolina Hurricanes in trade. Hall was pulled from the Chicago Blackhawks’ lineup prior to their Friday night game, and insider Pierre LeBrun reports, “Still being worked on, but sounds like a three-team deal involving Taylor Hall is being worked on. Believe Carolina is involved. Stay tuned.”

It is assumed the third team is involved in the deal to retain some of Hall’s $6 million salary.

The deal is not yet official, but it makes sense as the Hurricanes were looking for additional scoring, and it was believed Hall’s time with the Blackhawks was coming to an end.

BREAKING: Sources tell @DailyFaceoff that #GoAvsGo are in the process of trading Mikko Rantanen to #Canes.

Sounds like this is a complex three-way deal and I believe Taylor Hall is also involved in the deal going to Carolina from Chicago.

Chicago Blackhawks beat reporter Ben Pope quoted Hall from his media availability a while back:

Taylor Hall believes he will likely be traded. He would be open to signing an extension but has “a feeling that’s not really in the cards.”

“I came into this year wanting to be a Blackhawk for years to come. I don’t know if that’s going to be the case anymore.”
