Kessel is retained. His cap hit is 6.8 million and hes only under contract to 34 yeers old. Hes also an elite 30 goal 70 point right shot winger with high end speed.
Neal is a 25 goal 45 point left shot winger. I also doubt you get him for 5 million but we will see I guess. I won't be sad if we sign him. I'll enjoy the first few years and worry about the latter years when we get there.
