Hockeyviz has a nice view that shows the isolated impact of a player in the offensive and defensive zone.
Over the last 4 seasons Hall is 21.5% more dangerous in the offensive zone when he's on the ice, and there is 13% less shots/chances when he is on the zone in the defensive zone.
When he's on the ice he's dominating the play at 5v5.
Here's the view just for this season.
Honestly I'm not sure I like the risk of sending potentially 2 firsts, and a top prospect (Especially since the contract will be crazy to re-sign) but he's the type of player you do that for if hes available.

Only 21.5% more dangerous when he’s on the ice? I’d think he’d be 100% more dangerous when he’s on the ice than not.
When he’s on the ice he’s dominating 5 v 5? Always? True, he certainly isn’t when he’s not on the ice.
