Oilers Neal down to get rid of the Wall
Terrible pun, but the Oilers and the Wild have made a deal.
To Edm
James Neal
35th OV
To Min
Niklas Kronwall
24th OV
139th OV
We've been trying to get rid of Kronwall for a while due to his hefty contract but it hasn't been able to happen, but with the lack of top 6 goal scoring after last years top 6 players Troy Brouwer and Anthony Duclair had down seasons, the Oilers needed to get some goal scorers. Didn't want to give up the 24th, but in a weak draft dropping 11 spots to gain an asset isn't a bad thing.
Thanks Jiri for the quick and easy negotiations!
