Hall for gaudreau as the base of a trade isn't absurd but I don't know how Calgary can actually do it.
One way, however, would be shipping out Neal in the same deal.
Gaudreau's contract is the x factor here. Hall is maybe/probably a better individual player compared to Johnny Hockey but that 6.75 deal for term carries a huge amount of value.
If you can sign Hall for a similar dollar figure as tkachuk is going to get, then I think Gaudreau + Neal for Hall is fair value.
But I don't know if that really improves the roster.
