Taylor Hall is turning out to be a great addition to the Carolina Hurricanes after he didn't play to where he could have on the Chicago Blackhawks. While the veteran started slow on his new team, he has fit in extremely well, turning back the clock and producing at a great rate.

Hall has eight goals and 13 points in 22 games with the Hurricanes and is lining up on the second line with Jesperi Kotkaniemi and Jack Roslovic. Hall is also getting a good amount of power play time and taking full advantage of that.
The 33-year-old recorded one goal and two points in his first 12 games with Carolina, but has seven goals and 11 points in his last 10 games, helping the surging Hurricanes continue to win.
Hall not only has a goal in each of his last three games, but recorded a hat trick in one of them and has scored on the power play in all three. The former first overall pick that has played for seven NHL teams just played in his 900th game.
In Hall's career, he has 283 goals and 734 points. In 15 seasons, he wishes he stayed healthier and got more opportunities in the playoffs, having appeared just five times for a total of 39 games. He has only made it out of the first round once, but this Hurricanes team has the potential to do some damage.
Hall is going to hit 1000 games as he will still be playing at 35 years old, especially with how he has been performing. I think there's a good chance he stays with the Hurricanes.
