The often overlooked part of the Carolina Hurricanes' blockbuster trade this past January that saw them acquire Mikko Rantanen from the Colorado Avalanche for Martin Necas and Jack Drury was that the Canes also acquired forward Taylor Hall from the Chicago Blackhawks.

June 29, 2016, is considered one of the craziest days in the NHL's Modern Era. The Hall and Larsson trade took place on that day. Steven Stamkos decided to stay put in Tampa Bay by signing an eight-year, $68-million contract extension.

It took nine games, but Taylor Hall has finally notched his first goal as a member of the Carolina Hurricanes.
