So, you added the Neal/Rask downgrade and left off the first round pick LOL.

I am not sure Rask has more value than Neal to be honest. 9 points in 47 games this year. His year was way worse that Neal's. To me it is less, as been stated been a couple years since Rask had a decent season and his best season is no where near as good as Neal's average.
Yes, I left off the first, it is not the deadline anymore, the first should be off the table, maybe add 3rd or 4th or retain. Though, in an Athletic article it was indicated Min might be looking to move on from Rask already as well in exchange for another bad contract and are looking for scoring.
They may bet on Neal's shooting % rebounding closer to his career norm or around 10% vs the 5% it was this year. I would not be surprised if there are people out there that would bet on this as well.
Also with Frolik's contract expiring, there is the potential to flip him at the deadline as well if needed.
