If Hall is focused on this season as opposed to the next eight he’s very short sighted. He shouldn’t be making his decision based on fighting for a bottom playoff spot with this season’s still a work in progress team. If he can’t see the future is better than the present then he should just be honest and say that and go from there.
I want to quote the Donald in saying this is a "perfect" post and I agree 100%. There is a very short list of teams that can provide the future that we have here. If he signs with Colorado on July 1st, I would completely understand it because that would be the only team I would sign with if I were in his shoes.If Hall is focused on this season as opposed to the next eight he’s very short sighted.

What could we possibly get from Colorado as a return if we trade Hall there?
We don't get Byram if Hall is only a rental.
I don't care about Colorado's first. Why would we be happy with a late round pick on a player that is going to be a question mark in return for losing one of the best wingers in the game? That makes our team MUCH worse.
Prepare to be underwhelmed. We'd get something in a deal and something's better than nothing, but if a market doesn't materialize to drive up prices, it'll be futures heavy and no guarantees. It's like when Kovalchuk was available but the market was very narrow in our favor.What could we possibly get from Colorado as a return if we trade Hall there?

Hall will not return a massive package.
In all likelihood, he will return a 1st round pick and a good prospect OR very good prospect + 2nd + roster player (ala Stone)
from Colorado, maybe something like their 1st + Newhook or Timmins? Maybe something like Zadorov + Jost? Not really sure. Just spitballing.

Colorado fans don’t seem interested in trading Zadorov even when they admit the value is fair.
I don’t think there is a deal to be made there.
I'll be surprised if Shero doesn't get a Stone-like package. Zadorov + Jost seems closer. A late 1st and a good prospect isn't going to do it. If Shero does this, he's making it worth his time.
And then what? If the market doesn’t appear and it’s just 1st + good prospect does he just decide not to trade him out of spite?

He plays 20 minutes a night for them. I don't think it makes sense to damage your defense like that if the whole reason you're trading for Hall in the first place is to make a run. I agree with the Colorado fans here. I don't understand why we'd want Jost either. Far more interested in the 1st-Newhook-Timmins deal.
I feel like it would be stupid to make a decision that has millions of dollars and years at stake over the outcome of 12 games or so in either direction.
