Chicago Blackhawks News & Notes:

Another disappointing season for Chicago leads to more trade speculation. Taylor Hall recently spoke to the media about his status as a Blackhawk. Hall mentioned that he wanted to sign an extension in Chicago, but things weren’t looking like that would happen, and he’s preparing for a trade by the deadline.

Nashville Predators News & Notes:

Ryan O’Reilly trade rumors will be the topic of conversation for the Predators, but the Preds haven’t been shy on the trade market either. They’ve already made multiple trades this season to start reshaping the roster. How deep will Barry Trotz have to go before the team turns it around?
