If they sign him I'd expect them to subsequently trade a roster player to shed money to address goalie/other needs. And that could very well be Gaudreau.

I don’t think Hall has anything to do with what they are going to offer Markstrom. I think the Flames come with a 6x6 number with heavy trade protection through the first 3-4 years and should have a good chance of winning those sweepstakes.
I think if they get Hall it almost guarantees Johnny is traded but if they don’t acquire Hall I think it could be closer to 50-50 if they move Johnny.
