Looking at the currently signed Flames team for 2021, I don't know how you wouldn't break the bank for Hall if given the opportunity.
Hall-Monahan(6.375)-Gaudreau(6.75)
Tkachuk(contract pending)-Lindholm(4.85)-Neal(5.75)
-Backlund(5.35)-
-Ryan(3.125)-
Giordano(6.75)-
Hanifin(contract pending)-
That's the foundation for a contending team in 2021. No noticeably bad contracts, unless players degrade significantly, center depth, stacked top six, young players like Jankowski, Bennett, Valimaki, Andersson, Kylington to fill out the roster without needing to be core players (bonus if they are).
Really only missing a top pairing defenseman, and of course a goalie.
