šÆ Taylor Hall (LW), CHI | Rostered: 56% Fantrax (7% Yahoo) | GP: N/A | Line: 2 (w/ Andreas Athanasiou & Philipp Kurashev, PP1)
FROM BEN POPE, Blackhawks Beat Reporter: Taylor Hall feels healthy and fresh after completing his ACL rehab. He’s also changed up his shooting technique and set a lofty scoring goal for this season.
“Iām really confident Iāll be a solid contributor for the Blackhawks.”
Many had high expectations for Taylor Hall going into the 2023-24 season, anticipating that the former Hart Trophy winner would thrive next to Connor Bedard at even-strength and on the first power play unit. Unfortunately, Hall was limited to just 10 games last season and has not had a fantasy-relevant campaign since 2021-22 when he posted 20 goals and 61 points in 81 games.
Currently going undrafted in Yahoo, Hall has the potential to return serious fantasy value if he can stay healthy and maintain top tier deployment. 20 goals should be viewed as the fantasy floor, assuming Hall can get his shot rate back up closer to his three-year average (2.5 SOG/GM).
