Probably going to catch **** for this. No, definitely will.
But I'd absolutely look at a trade revolving around Hall for Jake DeBrusk +.
Both contracts expire after next season.
Hall is obviously due for a raise so it would take Sweeney some maneuvering. Especially after next season where Heinen, McAvoy, Carlo, etc. needs raises. Boston also would have to move some cap to make it work with his current cap hit I believe.
NJ gets a really impressive younger wing still on his ELC plus some added parts to that trade. Boston gets a guy for Krejci to drool over and solidify that second line.
