I, as I'm sure many others are, looked at it too. I think you reached similar conclusion that I did in that Murray and Johnson would probably have to go. For Hall, I think he could get pretty close to a max deal. So I don't think he signs a 7 year deal at 9 million. I think the smart and reasonable play to Hall would be "Come play for the pens for 2 years @ roughly 9 mil per. Not quite max money, but still solid." Gives Hall and the pens a chance at the cup and then after 2 years, he's still young enough to sign a long term deal for big bucks elsewhere. And after 2 years, Sid, Geno, and Tanger will be much closer to the back side of their careers.
