The Flames are rumored to be talking about Kuemper so I can see a scenario where they want to get Hall signed and sealed so they can move forward with their offseason plan.
If they are not convinced they can sign Hall if he hits the open market that could pump the brakes on their potential plans to trade Johnny.

An 8th year is not bringing the cap hit down. At least not enough to justify being stuck with him as a 36 year old
