Think about it like this, Neal is the "depth player" we would be trying to trade for at the deadline, but we got him at the start of the season and he has already formed relationships and knows the system this team plays.

I’m sorry what???
You’re saying that it’s like the flames acquiring a depth player at the deadline that they need to pay another 23 million dollars for after this season. I’m not sure you’ve thought that analogy through...who acquires depth at the deadline with four years of term and a massive cap hit remaining?
