Poile could have signed Neal to an extension or protected him 2 years ago. Instead they chose to leave him unprotected in the expansion draft, which speaks volumes to how they saw his game devolving. Why would the Predators now want him back, on a pretty inflated long term deal? Poile is far to shrewd of a GM to go for something like that. I'm sure he would also realize they already have far better options at D in house than that of what Brodie could provide them with as well. There's just no value to that team to make this kind of a move. I even question the value to Calgary given the plethora of young, talented D that are ready for prime time.
