This is my dream scenario, along with signing Hall.
It would suck to have a 1C being paid $11 million + per who really isn't worth that much (but at least he's a play driving 1C), and it would also suck not to have a 1st round pick in 2021, 2022, 2023 or 2024, but hopefully the prospect cupboard is already loaded up pretty strongly by dealing Monahan and Gaudreau.
It would also suck if you've dealt two thirds of your top line to offer sheet Barzal only to have the Isles match it and now you're hooped because Hall won't sign. But I guess at that point they'd just scorch the earth and start over completely.
