Buffalo of the West

Doesn’t cost Lavoie to dump Neal, and Rakell isn’t worth a first. He’s not playing near as good as last year.

Neal is horrible. The only thing he brings is PP offence.

Better than nothing. We are not giving a good prospect in Lavoie for people to take Neal. That’s way too much to give.

That's fine. I'm just having a bit of an overreaction today to the Ducks losing every game by a goal.

If I were Edmonton, I'd have no problem using Lavoie to clear Neal (To whomever) this offseason, to then use that space to find a useful player.

This off-season I would like to try and get Seattle to take Neal. Jones and something else may do the trick! Lavoie is just too good to give him away like that. And yah, it sucks losing, but you guys are rebuilding, so you will have to expect losing a lot. Just wait a few year, and you guys should be a decent team. If I was the Ducks GM I would just slowly get better from free agency, or sign a guy, and trade him for picks/prospects/young roster players.
