2 former Bruins will be on the top line with Blackhawks Connor Bedard

Taylor Hall's journey with the Boston Bruins began on April 11, 2021, when he was traded to the team. Following that, he solidified his commitment to the Bruins by signing a four-year contract on July 23, 2021. Hall's impact was evident as he notched three assists in a remarkable 5-1 victory against the Colorado Avalanche on Feb. 21, 2022.

This performance marked his 50th point in just 66 games since joining the Bruins, placing him among the fastest Boston players to achieve this milestone in the past two decades, alongside Marc Savard (39), Bill Guerin (54), and Jarome Iginla (65).

However, the Bruins decided to trade Hall to the Chicago Blackhawks on June 26, 2023. Ryan Donato made an unforgettable debut with the Boston Bruins on March 19, 2018. His time with the Bruins concluded on Feb. 20, 2019, when he was traded to the Minnesota Wild in exchange for forward Charlie Coyle.

Afterward, Donato found a new home with the expansion team, the Seattle Kraken, signing as a free agent on Sept. 13, 2021.

His Kraken journey began with a historic moment as he scored the first regular-season goal in the team's history during their inaugural game, although it ended in a 4-3 loss to the Vegas Golden Knights on Oct. 12, 2021.

Donato's impressive performance led to a one-year, $1.2 million contract extension with the Kraken on July 27, 2022, following a season in which he achieved a career-high of 16 goals.
