If I'm Treliving, I don't worry about going after Hall. I let the dumb teams battle to overpay for the one hit wonder that will break the budget. I'd instead circle around Jersey and see if you can get Palmieri to waive his modified NMC to come to Calgary and play opposite Gaudreau. That $4.65M salary is likely easier to swallow and Palmieri is more aligned with the type of team Calgary has. If that doesn't work, I circle back to Minnesota and look at Zucker again. Both are better fit for for the club IMO.
