I think I'd take Stamkos too, though I do think Hall can create more opportunities for himself while Stamkos is more a N-S player in comparison. In this scenario though, you'd have to deal assets to acquire Stamkos and in that case getting Hall makes much more sense. Even though Hall may not be a superstar player to carry the team in a playoff round, he's pretty close. I think a lot of people are underrating him because he isn't as good as the real top tier guys (McDavid, Crosby, MacKinnon). But he's shown he can step up despite being on really bad teams. With the right linemates he should do well on the Flames.
