But I think Turris is more likely to rebound than Neal, and when playing well is a vastly superior hockey player. Even at his career best Neal is a bit of a pigeon with discipline issues
How about Turris 2mil retained for Neal 0.75 mil retained? This way the money evens out. Turris at 4mil for 5 years vs Neal at 5mil for 4 years. It would also make each contract easier to move or buyout down the line.
