Also not sure if this is a guy you want long term - hes played a lot of hockey with reckless abandonment and age catches up with us all. I pity the fool who signs this guy for 7 years as a UFA.
I think the #1 target remains a RH shot who can play the wing. Nylander, silfverberg, Gallagher, Reinhart come to mind as players that might be really good fits.

If the cost for Hall was the equivalent of Kylington, Gawdin, Rusika, a 1st and a 3rd... I can't help but think that it would be cheaper to get any of the players that you mentioned, and especially with Nylander or Gallagher, I would be much happier having them.
