Neal for Russell and Puljujarvi would be a major coup for the Flames in my opinion. I just don't see Edmonton being able to take on Neal without including Lucic.
Russell's only got two years left, but his last year see's him making 1.5M in actual salary, so I don't think he would be that hard to move next off-season - at least in comparison to Neal. A team is going to have to spend ~1M anyways on a popcorn eater, Russell provides some veteran qualities.
