No way TJ waives for NJD.

I think Tampa says NO and NJ says YES-YES-YES TBL1015...
Firstly, to make it happen in Tampa T. Hall has to re-sign, that's a given. However the rub is, what's the AAV/TERM gonna be ($8/9/10M US(?)/6/7 years(?) - ouch)!!
NJ on the otherhand, gets a good player/good Cap-deal in TJ and this draft is supposedly deep so early picks are GOLD (NJ would own two choice 1st's at the draft)...
Personally, I think Halls over-rated and based on the majority of Armchair deals posted that is a "truism" IMO.

I understand but one of the $5+ M guys waiving is necessary for any sort of trade. I just chose Johnson due to his lack of good play recently.

Hall isn't re-signing. The Lightning have too many problems cap-wise next season. But he's a piece that can push the Bolts over the top

If you think so, it's certainly possible.
For me, I don't like the fact that he has 5-playoff games over a 10-year career. It's playoffs that matter after all and I just question if he's the "X-factor"?

The Devils made the playoffs in 2017-18 because Hall carried them there. They were never a good enough team without his superhuman effort.

He definitely can get hot and likely Tampa's a good destination for him in a high-octane environment.
A lot for a rental, but if the good Lord Stanley visits the Bay area, EUREKA is all that will be remembered!!
