If Hall helps propel the team to the Cup (or even get close), it's pretty hard to see them just letting him go. I think it's much more likely they do what they can to keep him, even if it means a revamp if the bottom six.
And even if he does somehow sign without trade/movement protection, keeping him past the xdraft and then trading him makes more sense than letting Seattle take him, as he would bring back a metric butt ton in the market.
To me though, Hall is a long term play or nothing. They can make the cap work, and it's not even that incredibly difficult considering the guys they have coming. The key to me would be getting his inevitable trade protection to open up after 4-5 years so there is somw flexibility in the future.
