Detroit accepts.

This is probably good enough for Detroit to accept.

Two 2nds, Lavoie and Lagesson all just to dump Neal? huh?

If thats the price, we'll take the $1.9m buyout penalty. Thats a ridiculous haul.

Yzerman can't pick up the phone fast enough to accept that deal. 2 2nd rd picks in deep drafts, and 2 B-tier prospects is a GREAT haul for 2 years of Neal.

Rangers don’t touch that trade with a 10 foot pole. Buch I was a P/GP player and NY’s top penalty killer. Worth a hell of a lot more than a cap dump, two borderline AHLers and a 1st

“If a single first was enough for Toronto to shed a single year of a more Expensive salary in Marleau for a competingclub like Carolina. This should be enough for a less expensive 2 years on a rebuilding team like Detroit. Especially between friends Steve and Ken”

That’s not true, Marleau’s buyout was 4M cash while Neal’s is 7.67M and the AAV is also more (1.916M x 4 years). Also friends don’t give discounts. The only thing friends are more likely to do is negotiate with each other.
