Plus, having Gaudreau would undoubtedly be part of the appeal for Hall to sign here.

I can't see enough cap space going around for that. Also depending on how the goaltenders hold up down the stretch and into the playoffs I could see the Flames being players for Markstrom if the Canucks let him go to free agency.

That will catch up with him at some point.

I don't love Hall but if you move Gaudreau you have to replace a lot of his production and it's probably a risk I would be willing to take.
