I'd argue that in Hall's case, it'll be a decent value contract until he hits about 34.
So on a 7 year deal, we're looking at perhaps a sour two seasons - but the thing about players in this echelon is that they age differently. So while the boots may not go, the mind is still there and smart plays still happen. Look at Lucic - and Hall is better player than that. Looch still thinks the game well and his game is loaded with smart, small plays.
Taylor Hall to Calgary would be a straight up "win" for this organization when you look at the move by itself.
From there on though, Tree has work to do - but if Hall does want to come here, you take the quick win and make it happen. I'd consider it a good first step this off-season.
