Treliving basically said it in his interview with Ryan Leslie (In Treliving speak of course)
Paraphrasing...."On July 1st term and dollars are always an issue. But we were prepared to go there to get the player."
Translation= That is probably too much money and too many years for a 31 year old James Neal. But he fills a glaring need and instantly makes us better. Financially we will be fine in the near and long term.
I don't care about these deep advanced analysis. Save that for the Dougie trade. James Neal instantly makes the Flames a much better hockey team.
