And you're that convinced that an average 2nd line and 3rd line player plus 65 games of Taylor Hall is enough to warrant such a move? Unless the Flames are getting something tangible (like a top line player back) I suspect signing Hall would be much more of a lateral move for Gaudreau than many people think.
Hall has played north of 75 games only 3 times in 10 seasons. Hall has also only managed to be at or above a PPG player 4 times in 10 seasons. I just don't get the fanbase desire to shell out $9M a year for this oft injured and regularly mediocre production.
