So...giving away equals the following?
- Trading him for Patrick Hornqvist... (a pretty darn good player who helped them win 2 cups)
- Leaving a 30 yo player with 1 year left to UFA unprotected. Yes, it's 'giving' hime away, but it's also the best case scenario of who you would want to lose in an expansion draft
- Letting the player complete his contract and not re-signing him to an insane deal
Neal is not a star. But he has been able to produce in every other place he has played except Calgary, including the dumpster fire up north. Until this team proves it can actually compete in the playoffs, we are very much throwing stones from a glass house.
