Getting a 3rd round pick from the Hurricanes gives the Blackhawks nine total selections in the upcoming draft.

The deal sees Mikko Rantanen and Taylor Hall go to Carolina and Martin Necas, Jack Drury and draft picks head to Colorado. Chicago gets its own 2025 third-round pick back and takes on half of Rantanen's $9.

The Blackhawks failed in this trade and are the suckers of the deal by not getting nearly enough for trading Taylor Hall and retaining $4.625 million on Rantanen's contract. They retained no cap on Hall's $6 million cap hit,

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.
