Secondly, I find the Gaudreau for Hall talk to be almost as crazy. Hall has 1 more year left until he’s a UFA, the poor asset management on that alone would be a gigantic no in itself.

I would agree with you except that cap hit becomes less and less meaningful if the cap goes up. 1.8 now is probably way more impactful than in three years.
If you are just trading for another bad contract I'd rather keep Neal and try to get him going.
