Chicago Blackhawks forward Taylor Hall made a revealing comment about his future with Connor Bedard and the franchise ahead of the NHL trade deadline.

Taylor Hall is enjoying a resurgent campaign with the Blackhawks, but there's a good chance the veteran will be getting a change of scenery.

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.
