Carolina gets one of the top scoring players in the league, as a UFA, and a very serviceable journeyman with a scoring past.
Colorado gets a young forward with upside, Drury who I know nothing about and 2 draft picks.
Chicago retains a fair amount of money, loses hall, and a middle draft pick. I don’t get this from Chicagos point of view at all

Hall is a UFA after the season and Chicago had no intention of resigning. He had zero value to them. They get a third, their own, and the extra cap is actually not very much when you consider saving on Hall.
