Buying out Neal has virtually no revelatory monetary benefit and it is difficult to imagine a future where his production reaches lower levels than those of 2018-19.

Neal came in as a 40 point player that was expected to score 20, he went 7g/19p. The bounce back isn't that far to add 21 points, especially if he can play with Lindholm on the second line (if that's a possibility).
