Players coming to Calgary are likely coming cause we're offering more money than other markets. I doubt trading Neal would have any effect. Neal is likely looking for a fresh start and a new team where he can play top 6 minutes anyway, so it's not like he'd be getting screwed.
Going off your employee example - if you were interested in working at a reputable, major company, would you care if they fired a high-level employee if they performed horribly during their first year on the job? You might take notice but otherwise, just assume it's an isolated incident and trust in the past many years of culture and business.
