Another way to look at it. If Hall hit free agency this summer, would anyone give him 5 years at 6 million/yr? How about 5 years @ 6million plus a good prospect or roster player? There's no way.
Ummm yes Hall would easily get that on the open market, let's not let hatred of the Oilers cause us to lose all objectivity. I mean c'mon Hall was over a point per game two of the last three years. This year only three of the top ten scorers were over a PPG. As much as some Flames fans hate to admit it, Hall is a premiere LW in this league. Hall, RNH and Eberle are all valuable players even with their contacts. Let's not be silly.
