Waaaaay to much money for AA and Ennis ..and I mean WAAAAY to much. And not enough for Bear. I think you probably just qualify AA at 3 for one year to see if their is a fit before you dole out money and term like that. And Ennis is a million dollar player for a year or two. No more.

Whoa ! And as far as JP goes the Oilers will be looking to aquire a draft pick after trading a few away at the deadline. Maybe a young , cheap, promising prospect or some combination of a pick and a young player. They are certainly not going to take on an underperforming 5 million dollar player for 4 more seasons. James Neal or not. They can buy out Neal after one more season and only have to pay about $1.6 million for two years . Or they will find another way without taking back another bad contract. Its quite possible they continue to go with Neal too so there are options better than making that trade.

Not enough bribery to take on that Neal contract. We didn't want Puljujarvi at the draft and we're not all that motivated to take him now either.
