Jim Rutherford on Neal trade: "By doing this, it gives us a better chance to do something on July 1."

Hornqvist = $4.25M
Spaling = RFA

Neal = $5M

What I've learned is that initial reaction to trades is usually accurate.

It just makes no sense from a cap perspective unless they aren't going to re-sign Spaling

PLease take McKeown

The NJ Devils would like to thank bettman for giving us this pick.... "

like okay you wanted to move neal. you took a similarly priced, decent offensive winger who prospects to offer a little more two way ability. in the process, potentially add a decent third line guy.

okay. im still not sold on it. but sell it that way. we needed change, and this really isnt much of a backwards move.

but dont sell it as a cap saving move... thats just stupid

Simmonds AND Schenn, though?

I'm glad they want to keep Simmer ... they've already lost a lot of snarl with Hartnell gone.

I was thinking that, but I can't remember any deals for picked players within a couple months of their draft

good. with our luck we end up with erik johnson at #1. i like brayden and wayne thats at minimum 50 goals/yr right there.

Remember all those times when everyone says "Ahhhhh, it's just a 3rd or 4th rounder. Those things or meaningless"

Well, it would be nice to have several of those in order to trade up and grab a guy like Barbashev.
