Rask: 3.5 years at $4M
Could Carolina have actually had interest in Neal at 4.5 years at $5.75...could also be why he was held out of the game/practice for "Illness".

I love this kind of speculation, but I just don't see it with Neal.
Nino has 9 goals. Neal has 10
points.
There aren't similar valuations.
Also, through poster I think clarified that the flames were in on Rask. This to me is shocking. I can't believe the canes would be interested in dealing with the flames again after how their last deal worked out. There's almost a face saving necessity for them in their next deal with Calgary imo.
I have to think it if there were serious talks between the canes and flames for Rask, frolik was the likeliest piece going the other way.
