The Chicago Blackhawks are one of the few teams concretely out of the playoff race as the NHL Trade Deadline nears, meaning every contending team will be calling and trying to pluck their best players and assets.

Chicago Blackhawks left winger Taylor Hall can be a valuable contributor to a more competitive NHL team without costing too much in a trade, writes Adam Proteau.

Among those, the two highest valued rental players will likely be Taylor Hall and Ryan Donato. Both players are expected to fetch around a third round pick at the trade deadline, which isn't exactly encouraging considering the Blackhawks are a clear seller,

Taylor Hall is enjoying a resurgent campaign with the Blackhawks, but there's a good chance the veteran will be getting a change of scenery.
