Freeing up cap space for Hall?

Cornering the market on guys named Lucas?

What's off is that this looks like a setup trade, but Florida had the cap space to take Hall without batting an eye. Unsure how their internal budget, if any, would have played a role.

That’s probably exactly it. I’d assume for Hall but I guess it could be for an Ekblad replacement also.

If we think they're targeting Hall, you can't help but wonder if they're thinking about a Colin Miller or a Rasmus Ristolainen coming with him here.

 

Else, maybe Ekholm?
