Taylor Hall Found His Fit In Carolina

Taylor Hall Found His Fit In Carolina

No one, no one could have expected the blockbuster bombshell, the Hurricanes, acquiring Mo Ranton and Taylor Hall in a three team trade. Taylor Hall is now a Carolina Hurricane. So, Taylor gets an opportunity to go to a a team that’s obviously a welloiled machine. Obviously, I was excited. It had been a a tough first part of the year with uh with the Blackhawks. we were, you know, pretty low in the standings and I didn’t love the uh the role that I had and and I felt that I had a lot more to give and and I, you know, I feel like I proved that here and but coming here is has been uh it’s been great. I was excited to to come and get started and and you know, to come and be in the spot that we’re in now. I wasn’t thinking that far ahead, but it’s it’s been a fun journey. He’s pretty easy going, so he knows when to when to kind of turn it on and and I’m not going to say activate dad mode or whatever, but uh lay the hammer down a little bit, but uh yeah, he he’s awesome. He he definitely helps with uh with kind of calming everybody down. And he’s he’s someone who never seems too flustered. So when you see him in these big moments kind of whatever seems like nothing’s going on, that’s it’s fun. It’s easy to watch and kind of replicate that. It does rejuvenate you and after so many years in your career, I think you you just want to win and you want to be on a good team that has guys that that want the same thing. Taylor Hall, one time MVP of the NHL, one time first pick overall. He’s been a great ad here in Carolina. Taylor Hall has been searching. I think, you know, you say he’s done it all. I think there’s one thing he hasn’t done and I think especially at later stages of your career I think your mindset changes a little bit and I think he’s come in and just said listen I’m I’m not the guy I want to be a guy that part of something special. We brought him in thinking this is someone who might be a fit and we might want to keep. And over time it became clear pretty quickly it was fitting exactly the way we hoped it would. And so, you know, we started talking to his agent pretty early on about what a deal would look like and, you know, ultimately got to something that made sense for both sides. They score, Taylor Hall. I just want to keep doing this, you know, year after year. And um and I really think that if you look forward, there’s a team here that that can do that. I have a have a son coming in October. So, I wanted to know, you know, where we would be as a family and and have a chance to get settled and and do all that. So, there’s a lot that goes into it, but at the end of the day, um I love playing hockey here and and wanted to wanted to do that for a few more years. Now, the lead pass for Hall moving in on Thompson. He scores. It is the motivator. I don’t think he’s looking for anything else but that. We’ve done a lot of things over the years, but there’s still something out there that we know where everybody’s chasing and feel like he’s right in that group now where that’s his last thing that he needs to check off the list. I think it’s fair to say that’s the ultimate goal and that’s why we’re here. That’s that’s uh what everyone’s striving towards and and building towards all season long. It’s been 15 years for me and and uh I haven’t been able to to make it this far. So, um just trying to take it all in but enjoy this uh this process with my teammates.

Forward Taylor Hall discusses how he found a productive new fit with the Carolina Hurricanes after a frustrating start to the year with the Chicago Blackhawks.
