Biggest problem here, IMO, isn't whether Hall would go, (also would cry tears of joy to see him in Calgary), or what the trade should be or how much. The scary things to do this is you lose one of your top 3, maybe top two young defensemen, with huge upside for the future, big talented, hockey IQ, attitude, and keep Hamonic and Brodie on expiring contracts with the potential to get nothing in return for them when they go UFA next year. Hanafin, Valimaki, Andersson are 3 of our top 4 D for the future the way they are progressing. I would actually go with trading Johnny or Monny + for Hall before I did this. Monny + pick or prospect for Hall, or Hall and mid to late pick/medium level prospect for Johnny. With Hall you get scoring, a gritty edge, bigger, and home town boy over a whinny hand waiving baby (love the points but his antics and crying are getting too much). Also why do you think JG doesn't have a letter on his chest yet? Because he isn't a leader.
