When the Chicago Blackhawks last played the Carolina Hurricanes, Taylor Hall suited up for them. He will be on the other bench tonight after being traded to Carolina last Friday. The trade came just a few days after the former Hart Trophy winner lamented staying on with the Blackhawks beyond this season.

After seeing his role with the Chicago Blackhawks diminish in recent weeks, Hall welcomed the trade that sent him to the Carolina Hurricanes in a three-team blockbuster deal involving the Colorado Avalanche. Hall discussed the move from Raleigh, North Carolina, on Thursday, as reported by Mark Lazerus of The Athletic.

Veteran forward Taylor Hall has joined his seventh team last week, as he was included in the blockbuster three-team trade between the Chicago Blackhawks, Colorado Avalanche and Carolina Hurricanes; he was traded from Chicago to Carolina, and it's a move that he approves of.

Taylor Hall seems to be fitting in nicely with his new team, the Carolina Hurricanes. He has now played two games after being traded by the Chicago Blackhawks and just recorded his first point in his second game that came against the New York Rangers.

Hall broke down the timeline of the blockbuster trade from his perspective Thursday. He claimed he's "definitely a better player than the amount I was playing" during his final weeks in Chicago.

RALEIGH, N.C. — In the weeks leading up to his trade to Carolina, Taylor Hall repeatedly said he wanted to stay in Chicago, that he wanted to be a part of what the Blackhawks were building, that he wanted to settle down in one city in the twilight of his peripatetic career.
