The extra assets are nice, but unless you’re trading them for current players they are still lottery tickets.

I think I hearken back to Jiri's (Bingo's?) point that, with the Flames ownership, rebuild is not an option so signing Hall/trading Gaudreau at least gets you some "futures" while staying competitive. I agree that it is much better than just signing JG to an extension. Given that we must always strive to finish 8th, getting Hall "for free" and getting assets for JG, seems to be the least bad option.
