If the Flames are offering Hall $7.5M x 7 years for example would he really sign a 1 year deal for $9M and risk a serious injury given his history?

There is a precedent.
Marian Hossa signed a 1 year deal with the Red Wings to chase a cup. Then signed a massive deal with Chicago.
edit: The Oilers were reportedly offering him stupid money too IIRC.

Marian Hossa, meanwhile, turned down a lucrative deal from the Edmonton Oilers believed to be worth between $70 million to $80 million over eight or nine years and a $49-million, seven-year offer to stay with the Pittsburgh Penguins and instead chose to accept a one-year job assigment with the Detroit Red Wings for $7.45 million.
