Does no one remember Neal in PIT? Or watched him that terrible penalties through out the Finals against PIT? I wouldn't give a 3rd for him. We traded him when he was scoring 40g (thanks to Malkin) for Honqvist and a 4th line player. You want to give Horqvist, who's production hasn't dropped off at all, a prospect and TWO 2nd rd picks?

He doesn't add anything to the team. He HAS to play with Malkin to be successful enough for the trade to work, but Hornqvist will score 20g and 0.50 ppg with on the 3rd line and he won't take penalties that cost his team games in the Finals.

Hornqvist 16-17 playoffs
19 5 4 9
Neals 16-17 playoffs
22 6 3 9

We already have shooters (Kessel, Crosby, Malkin, Letang, Schultz, Guentzel ...). Hornqvist net front and clean checking have are worth far more then Neal and especially after losing Kunitz.
