I guess I don't see Turris for Neal making any sense at all for Nashville.
Turris is a better bet to bounce back in my opinion. He had 18 points in his first 30 games before the injury bug bit.
With Duchene, Turris moves to RW where he likely slides behind Smith as well. So he's on the 3rd line with Nashville more than likely even if you give him C over Bonino there.
With his skill-set, he's not likely to find much of a fit in Nashville - though Neal didn't have much success in a similar role here. I think in their own ways, they're both pencilled into the 3rd line with hopes that they can contribute in the top-6
I think the sell is in the belief that Nashville-Neal is coming the other way and bringing a different dynamic than they can hope for best-case with Turris.
Risk on one side is Turris turning it around... and on the other the Turris contract is a bigger anchor if he doesn't
I think the Jets can be added to the list of teams that would have interest in Brodie or Hamonic once they settle their RFA situation. Losing Trouba and Myers are big hits to their blueline. I could also see some interest in bringing back Frolik on their end but the money likely doesn’t work

I doubt the money works with Brodie, as does the one year on his term.
I think they might try and move Ehlers for a very high end prospect d-man who's cheap with years of control left.

Interesting to hear some examples of players that fit that criteria? Does 1 high end prospect, Niku, and Pionk cover enough of their holes created by losing Trouba and Myers?

I would be surprised if there was a big market for a soft 60 point guy who makes 6 million a year. It is not like Ehlers is on a steal of a contract, he is paid slightly above market rate for similar type players.

When is the next buy-out period? Gotta think buying out Stone would be the only option for the Flames if they can't move Brodie and/or Frolik.
second buy-out period opens 3 days after the club's final arbitration case is settled or the arbitrator gives out an award. This window opens for 48 hours. If the club has no arbitration cases, there is no buyout window for the club.
During this second buyout window, only players who were on the reserve list at the previous trade deadline and have a cap hit of ~$3.455 mil or more can be bought out.
Deadline to file for arbitration:
Player elected - July 5, 5pm ET
club elected - July 6, 5pm ET
First day of arbitration hearings: July 20
Last day of arbitration hearings: August 4
Flames players with arb rights:
Bennett
Rittich
Lomberg
Valiev
