This is a terrible contract and there is no way around that not too mention Flames got almost nothing for helping the Oilers out of a major problem.
This is how BAD they wanted Neal out of the dressing room, period.

I'd be laughing at Edmonton too though, they'd have Eriksson.
And no I wouldn't dismiss the advanced stats, I read Staples article before the trade, looked it up and went "wow ..." as I didn't know.
