I’d pay two 1st round picks for 8.5 seasons of Taylor Hall.

I want Taylor Hall as much as anyone else, but it looks like with the conditions made that it's likely that he pursues the opportunity of being a UFA... And that means we have an opportunity of signing him.
The problem is either putting Gaudreau or Tkachuk on their off wing. The second problem, which is way harder to do, is fitting Hall within our cap structure and staying competitive... I just don't think it's happening.
