Does this allow them to lock him up before the draft, giving us more trade options on a hot day?
Yes it does. Its very hard to sign hall and trade johnny for 7th overall pick from the devils when draft day is before free agency. If they waited til free agency now you are looking at picks in 2021 draft as rarely do teams trade guys they just drafted.
