Agreed but it does seem like there is interest in Neal from the Oilers side. To me it makes sense to speculate Lucic as the return but then it makes no sense for the Flames. That is where I go back to Russell as the key piece in a return for Neal. The Oilers have young D pushing for spots and the Flames are familiar with Russell. Obviously they have to move out Brodie and one of Stone/Hamonic to make the deal work.
Neal and Stone for Kassian and Russell???
