Yep, mutual deal that helps both parties. Hall saw $7-$8.5AAV offers and believes COVID has played a part, still thinks he can be a $9.5-$11 AAV with a good season.
Go to Buffalo, get really good minutes and play for stats, get a much bigger deal next off season. Buffalo, meanwhile will trade him at the deadline to a contender and get some nice assets back for nothing.
People saying this makes no sense, it makes all kinds to me. Mind you, he's hedging on a great season. Not saying the logic is solid just that I understand why both parties did this.
