I think the deal would have to be Jake Bean, Julien Gauthier (or similar high risk prospect) and a 1st for Hall, who would come without an extension worked out. Perhaps the Canes throw in something conditional in there IF Hall resigned. As I said prior to all these "Hall is available" reports, Colorado really is in the best position to land Hall. They could offer Graves, Bowers and a 1st rounder, or work out something that included high risk, high reward, but still injured Connor Timmins. I am not sure there are many times vying for a playoff spot can compete with that offer. Islander might, but would these teams do an in-division trade? Hard to say? I could see Arizona trying to get creative as well, and could see them going all in a season where basically everything has gone right for them. I still think Taylor Hall will be an Avalanche before the holiday trade freeze.
