As a fellow Wings fan I would definitely make that trade.
Neal for Abby + 3rd on it's own is almost a fair trade. Abby is what he is, Neal at least has the ability to bounce back. Both contracts are for 4 years, yes Neal is 1.5M more a year. If Neal fails to have a bounce back season, retaining 50% you have a chance to move him which would be impossible with Abby.
So you have Helm for Frolik and Brodie. Helm is a 3/4 liner, while Brodie has been top pair D and Frolik is a 2nd liner. Helm has 2 years left, while Frolik and Brodie are both on expiring contracts and could be flipped for multiple picks and prospects if they don't fit in.
IMO Frolik is a underrated player and would fit with with Athanasiou. Brodie could play top 4 and could move Green is he is healthy.
So you get out of 2 very hard to impossible to move contracts for a 3rd, and in return you get 1 bad contract and 2 players that could be very sought after at the trade deadline. Sounds like a win to me.
