I don't think I make that deal, not that Hammer gets you a first right now. Mainly because, even if you know Hall wants to sign here, you are pretty much losing all leverage in that contract negotiation by spending a first and second. If you don't agree to his terms you are losing those assets for nothing. So he comes in after you've spent that and wants Panarin money.
I'd rather take my chances on the open market. Maybe the GMs league don't want to give him that much and you get him at a lower salary and you keep your picks.
I don't think the Flames are in go for it mode, which they would need to be to do that deal.
