The deal clears Taylor’s 6 million dollars salary from Boston’s books. Hall is inked at the cap hit through the 2024-25 campaign on the 4-year extension he signed with Bruins in 2021. Nick is a pending unrestricted free agent.
Defenceman Regula played 4 matches for Chicago in the past campaign, finishing the season without a point. The 2018 3rd-round pick of the Red Wings had 5 goals and 21 points in 51 matches with the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs.
Defenceman Mitchell notched 1 goal and earned 8 points in 35 matches with Chicago in the past season. Blackhawks picked him in the 2017 NHL Draft, as he has 4 goals and 16 points in 82 matches in his career in the NHL.
