I would try swapping Steen for Hall. It might not work, but worth a shot to start the discussion.
A manager posted in our forum this morning asking if anyone wanted to trade for Hall. He's not really performing much better than a lot of the FA we have right now so I'd be buying future value.
Should I offer anything off my roster to get him? The problem is, I'm quite happy with my team.
The league is a limited keeper with 1 player from each position and I think I already have my keeper on LW with Steen.
Thoughts?

Tough one, I don't think there is a player of high-enough caliber to get this done in a 1-for-1 trade.
I'd say best you can do is offer him to pick two of: Callahan, Schenn, Steen, T.Johnson, and Stepan.
If he owns somebody like Stamkos (TB), he may actually have interest in Callahan/T.Johnson.
First, if you were able to get Hall, he'd be your LW keeper over Steen.
The tough part is how to get him. I like Pengwin's suggestion. You don't have any player besides Giroux and Mackinnon worth swapping straight up, but you don't want to give either of them up, so try a 2-for-1 and then grab a replacement off the waiver wire to fill your empty roster spot.

I asked him what he wanted instead of proposing anything.
I may try Steen (or Backes/Callahan/Johnson)+ one of Seabrook, Carlson, Vatanen as he has a D that is droppable IMO.
It's a limited keeper - 1 player per position. Guess he's not all that enthralled with Hall and I'm going to see if I can steal him. It's not like I initiated - he posted the message on the boards so I'll see what I can do.
