I do understand what you are saying. However, it's not like Grabner had a very good season either with 16 points in 41 games. Both players are also the exact same age.
Grabner's Career PPG: 0.45 (167 goals in 594 games)
Neal's Career PPG: 0.67 (270 goals in 766 games)
I consider Grabner and Neal cap dumps at this point. Weirder deals have happened in the past and maybe the Coyotes can look to Neal as being the veteran on the team who has made the playoffs before. Not a lot of Coyotes players have done it much before. Maybe the Flames can add a prospect like Ruzicka too.
