Johnny is amazingly skilled and is electric, but dare I say it, not an MVP calibre player, yet, and maybe not ever. If a deal around those two players is up for grabs I'd imagine it would be Johnny and Bennett for Hall just to begin. MVP type players entering their prime are hard to acquire.

If that's the price you hope to sign Hall as a UFA then trade a core player for picks. Better to end up with the player and a cpl 1st rounders. Or just not get the player if he signs elsewhere.
