Turris is a better bet to bounce back in my opinion. He had 18 points in his first 30 games before the injury bug bit.

With Duchene, Turris moves to RW where he likely slides behind Smith as well. So he's on the 3rd line with Nashville more than likely even if you give him C over Bonino there.
With his skill-set, he's not likely to find much of a fit in Nashville - though Neal didn't have much success in a similar role here. I think in their own ways, they're both pencilled into the 3rd line with hopes that they can contribute in the top-6
I think the sell is in the belief that Nashville-Neal is coming the other way and bringing a different dynamic than they can hope for best-case with Turris.
Risk on one side is Turris turning it around... and on the other the Turris contract is a bigger anchor if he doesn't
