Unless they think they are one good player away from making a cup run this year and renting Hall. The thought that maybe one person within the Oiler organization just might think this way warms my heart and brings a tear to my eye!

At the end of the day, if the Devils are trading Hall, its for a rebuild and they're going to want future pieces, and Edmonton can't afford to give it up because outide of a couple of pieces in Bouchard and Broberg, and their first, there's not a lot there that would move the needle for the devils. And they would want at least two of those three pieces, and the Oilers can't afford to give that up.
And no the Devils aren't going to want a RNH or anything like that.
I expect the ask for Hall would be a first, a high end prospect and a decent roster player for an unsigned Hall.
