I think VAN says yes

Detroit passes, Neal is a cap dump. We already have a Phillip Broberg clone in Albert Johansson and a 1st round pick that's still 2 years away doesn't get Tyler Bertuzzi.

Canucks accept obviously. Edmonton getting ripped off in that deal

Horrible asset management on the Oilers part. Taking on the Roussell contract in addition to retaining on Koskinen is awful from a cap perspective. The Detroit one isn't that bad from an Oilers perspective but the market value for salary retaining is high... Leafs had to give up a 1st pre-flat cap for 1 year of Marleau. Better off buying out than paying someone to take Neal's cap.

Change Broberg to Holloway and it's a deal. Neals buyout isn't that bad.

Oh good, the 10,000th oilers ACGM where they get debrusk for nothing.

Unfortunately Debrusk hasn't done anything recently to warrant paying more than that for.

No way the Oilers are giving up Broberg - he's a big part of their future

I'd consider that Detroit trade if you add another smaller asset

Bertuzzi for Neal + Broberg + 2023 1st + 2022 2nd
