Please Ken, stay away from Coleman and Goodrow. Not saying they're bad but they'll be totally overpaid on the FA market.

You think 2.5 and 3.5 m is a over pay? I agree with you that they are two players that are prime overpay candidates and Ken should stay away. But you think oil could sign them for above, or gonna be more?

Just buy out Neal. And sign a ufa with the 3.8 is saving. Much safer bet. Also. The Coleman and goodrow deals are solid. I think they get more on the open market though.

Keith may not have a lot of value but is no where near the negative value of Neal.

Keith has 2 years left at an atrocious buyout if that's the route they went. Neal has a much easier to swallow buyout but is owed more in real dollars.
So the question is why the Blackhalks are looking to trade him. Are they just doing him a favour or are they looking to make cap room? If it is for cap room a Neal for Keith trade would be good for them.

“We weren’t looking to move him, but it was initiated by Duncan,” a source said. “He’d like to be closer to his son. He’s getting older, and Duncan didn’t get to see him much last season. We understand that.”
