I am not a fan of trading for Hall. Due to injuries he is a 50 point forward. But he is going to be paid as an elite player.

That said, as purely a rental he will make the team that trades for him better. The two teams at the top of the list are in our division. Picking him up keeps him out of their hands and potentially makes us better. So a case can be made.

I don't see a trade around prospects though. Calgary can't take on the cap. Something around Hanafin might work. Hanafin/Frolik or Hanafin/Bennett for example. Gives us Hall and a bit of breathing room to maybe add near the deadline. Gives NJ a 22 your old top 4 D locked in for 5 years at a good contract.
