He's an incredible player, but I really think trading him for a good return before he walks is the best strategy. I don't completely love Hall as a player either, but trading a #1 LW in Gaudreau for some young cost controlled players or picks while signing another #1 LWer in Hall is sensible this summer.

Really boils down to the term Hall would sign. Well, dollars too.
I like the Idea of moving Johnny and finding a #2 LW (Chuckles takes #1LW) but I'm not certain you'd really need to replace Johnny with Hall. Especially if he's coming in overpaid and over term. Thats equally as damaging to the roster as not moving Johnny and he walks.
