Darren Haynes of The Athletic: The Calgary Flames have several reasons to pursue Hall and several not to. His hometown was nearby for one and Calgary needs a shot of swagger desperately. Hall deepens the lineup and reshapes the core a bit. The big thing is Calgary could have a nice 1-2-3 punch at the center position and allow the depth to thrive.
The problem is though it would be a gut-punch to Edmonton, there are considerable cap implications and a steep price tag with a player of Hall’s caliber. There are injury concerns as well but Calgary makes some sense.
