I'd really like to hear from more Edmonton fans here. For me, I dont know if Edmonton bites on this. They still have a hole at goalie, Griess is not any better than what they have. Giving up 2 picks in 2022 would mean that the first pick for Edmonton would likely be near 85-90th OA. Can't imagine dumping Neal is that important to give up those picks on.
I think 1 2nd rounder would get the Gardiner deal done, however I dont know that Yzerman wants that many years left on salary dumps.
I get that Vancouver is desperate, but 9th overall is a hard one to give up to take some contracts. I disagree with everyone saying they are going to just buyout a couple contracts and also sign Edler to $1-2M deal and Sutter to a $2M deal and it will work.. you end up being a couple players short of a whole roster, no flexibility in the CAP and not enough "able" bodies on the ice. Vancouver Can't make their team better without shedding more than just 1 or 2 contracts. All they can do is sustain where they are at which wont lead to playoffs in the Pacific next year for sure.
