It's a good thing Treliving realizes he has a great nucleus now you add physical power type forwards. The Flames need 2 or 3 and it would make a huge difference in the playoffs.
Put me all in for trading Neal, trading Neal for a 4th player or an AHL player I would be perfectly happy with. Neal stole a fat paycheck all season. What disgusts me is that there are rumors he will get promoted to 1st line.
He has earned nothing. Peers and Treliving owe him nothing. If any team is interested in Neal make the trade unless the Flames are being asked to absorb part of this scrubs salary plus taking on another teams bad salary scrub. At worst I am completly good with exchanging our roster headache for another teams roster headache.

I'm pretty sure any assignment for Neal is predicated on what he shows in camp after saying he was going to work hard in the off-season. If he earns a "promotion" in camp, meaning he can contribute in some way on the 2nd or 1st line, I'm good with that. I don't hear anyone saying to just throw him on there based on this year's play. But if he can get to his previous levels of play, sure.
