I’ve been of this thinking for a while but lately I’ve been wondering if Hall would sign here if he knew Johnny was getting traded?
Hall wants to win. Does he think Johnny will help more or would a 1st round pick?
We know Hall and Johnny had some fun at the all star game years ago which isn’t real hockey but you’d have to think that Hall wold have more interest in playing on a line with Johnny than say Connor Zary?
Hall’s prime years are now, doubt he wants the Flames to trade Johnny for a pick. And I don’t know that’s there’s a Johnny trade out there that brings in good talent to support Hall now.
I’m thinking if they sign Hall, they keep Johnny and maybe move other fringe pieces like Ryan for cap space to fill out other holes in the roster like goalie and defense.
