This was a huge overpayment but a necessary move.

I think that what they lose offensively will not be recovered defensively. They need to move more now for defence in order for a turn around and based on their draft pick they still don't have a balanced team build approach unless they flip a more recent asset for more defence.

Oils still have so many assets which are no longer valued where they once were. They will have to cleanup in short order with all these contracts coming down the pipe.

Also, it will be extremely fascinating to watch Hall play on a team outside the Oil system. I think, like most Oil ex-pats, that he will be more successful. Maybe if Hall performs well, it will cause further interest in more of the Island of Misfit Toys.
