I mean the Flames were not going to sign him, so this is the best alternative option, as a Flames fan

How Calgary wasn’t a better option than Buffalo is beyond me? Yes flames need to clear space but get it done.

Haha that's hilarious. So much for winning, being back home, etc.

Happy to be able to cheer against this guy again.

Treliving better have some backup plans to fix the flames top 6 forwards...

I have a feeling that this is not correct.

He stated that he wants to win, Buffalo still has some holes to fill before even thinking about contending.

I will wait for the official announcement prior to believing.

Ugh this is disappointing but I guess once Tanev signed his deal the writing was on the wall that we didn't have the room for him cap-wise.

Signings like Brouwer, Neal, Tanev, etc. are killing us. I think Hall was a serious possibility in Calgary if we had space.

Too funny. Light it up with Eichel, pad the stats, get flipped at the deadline, sign an even bigger contract next year

Maybe due to the cap situation, he just didn't get any potential suitors.

Easy to say he picked Buffalo, but if it's the only offer he's getting...

My guess is he won't sign a long term deal elsewhere because he wants to be a Flame. This leaves the door open and more time for Calgary to make it happen. It also gives Buffalo a potential trade partner.

Might be the dumbest thing a top UFA has ever done. Little money, little chance at winning. Makes sense that it's Hall.

I mean, a one year deal for Hall tells me everything I need to know about what his plans are for the future and how he views Buffalo. This is mutualism at its finest.
