Among those, the two highest valued rental players will likely be Taylor Hall and Ryan Donato. Both players are expected to fetch around a third round pick at the trade deadline, which isn't exactly encouraging considering the Blackhawks are a clear seller,

Chicago Blackhawks veteran forward Taylor Hall is bracing for yet another career change. The 33-year-old winger, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent this summer, has openly acknowledged that his time with the Blackhawks may soon be coming to an end.

Taylor Hall’s actual black eye, courtesy of Calgary Flames forward Martin Pospisil, doesn’t hurt so much. “(Feels) good. It’s fine,” said Hall, whose right eyelid looked more red than black and had seven stitches in it.

According to the Athletic, the Blackhawks could get third-round picks for the pending UFAs. Donato is currently on pace to set a career high in goals and points, and Hall, who isn’t having as productive of a season as he has in the past, had found his game for a bit when playing with Bedard.

Chicago Blackhawks left winger Taylor Hall can be a valuable contributor to a more competitive NHL team without costing too much in a trade, writes Adam Proteau.

The Chicago Blackhawks are likely to be sellers around the NHL Trade Deadline in March. Veteran winger Taylor Hall is among the trade candidates the Blackhawks could move before the 3 PM EST deadline.

Despite hopes for a longer tenure in the Windy City, Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall knows the writing is on the wall regarding his future with the organization.
