Edmonton- Patrick Hornqvist

Pittsburgh- James Neal ( 1 million retained ), Jesse Puljujarvi and 2nd 2020

Edmonton- gets rid of a cap dump and brings in an effective player in Hornqvist.

Pittsburgh- takes a flyer on Neal hoping reunited chemistry Sparks his play and also get two prospects to help with their poor prospect group.

*maybe Pittsburgh adds a conditional pick based on Puljujarvi's performance.

This is so bad man.
Sorry Leafs17, didn’t mean to hurt your feeling.

Can you believe the Oilers got Neal for Lucic!? Didn’t even have to give a 1st away with him like Dubas had to do with a bad contract.
The Oilers are keeping Neal and he’ll bounce back with at least 20 goals. Make my words. I’ll eat them if he bombs, and if he does, his contract is insanely better to buy out than Lucic. Great gamble. Great trade. This pprooosed trade by you is garbage. Lol.

Well Dubas did not have to take James Neal’s contract back in the deal either.

I think Holland did well in this deal and agree Neal could bounce back, but that’s still a boat anchor of a contract at this point. He traded what was most certainly crap for different crap that may or may not be less crappy.

I agree this proposed deal stinks though and Edmonton is way better off just keeping Neal and giving him every chance to succeed (lots of PP/ McDavid time) .

Yupp no matter how you look at it Neal is still garbage not Lucic garbage because no one is but he has negative value Hornqvist is still very good. No ones denying he won’t score 20 but aside from that he contributes nothing.

Pittsburgh traded neal away to get hornqvist.

Their prospect pool is thin, but they're still in win mode, not time to tear down yet.

i'd do it from edmonton perspective, but i'd think they'd give neal a chance to play with mcdavid/ drais/ rnh before trading him right away, they just got neal.

I didn’t make the post but thanks for thinking of me. It must suck obsessing over a complete stranger.
