Taylor Hall wasn’t initially looking to leave Chicago. But, when communication issues between himself and former coach Luke Richardson popped up and his ice time went down under interm coach Anders Sorensen,

For one, Brind’Amour is pairing his two best players by putting them on a line together. Aho has led the Hurricanes in scoring in six of the last seven seasons, and Rantanen was a superstar in Colorado, logging more minutes than any forward in the league since the start of the 2021-22 season.
