He’s going to score 7 goals before the end of the season in Boston.
When a player with a full NMC tells you the teams he is willing to waive for, your ability to extract full value for him dries up.

Pretty clear in this case that Hall was deciding where he was going to play the rest of the year...so you send out the feelers to those teams (if there is more than one) and take the best package available or lose the asset for nothing in a couple months.
