Proposal: Arizona-Calgary

[Keenan87]

To Arizona:
James Neal
Adam Ruzicka
4th Round
6th Round

To Calgary:
Michael Grabner

A change of scenery for Neal while Grabner didn't have the greatest season with Arizona either. Not to mention a few picks for Arizona and in theory, a playoff veteran in Neal to help them get over the hump.

I think it will cost more than that to get out of Neal's deal

Costing a lot more than a 4th and 6th to dump Neal .

 

[Captain Mountain]

Why would Arizona ever consider this?

I appreciate the responses and yeah, you may be right. I just personally think Grabner and Neal are both salary dumps at this point (maybe I am wrong). In that case, Arizona gets a prospect and 2 picks to pick up ~2 mil in salary. For a team that won't be close to the salary cap, I thought it may be worth it.

[MOD]I provided my reasoning in the initial post. If you don't think it's fair, provide a reason or at least say "Not a good deal for Arizona". [MOD]

ok then the fair thing for him to say is "arizona would not consider this"

Neal's first year on his new deal was bad enough it should scare alot of teams away unless a significant retention happens, or overpayment. I think the Flames are best to see if he can rebound.

Bud, the over the top reaction and personal attacks are unnecessary. I'll elaborate.

Why would the Coyotes, a team that is very budget conscious, ever consider taking on significantly more cap and real money to swap two players whose previous 3 seasons look remarkably similar for the benefit of two insignificant picks and prospect with minimal value.

And lets be honest, if Neal being a playoff veteran had any real value, Calgary wouldn't want to trade him.

Before Grabner got his eye poked out he was the best player on the team. He’s extremely valuable to the Coyotes.

How about Sam Bennett + Oliver kylington for Alex galchenyuk?

Don't think the difference between Bennett and Galchenyuk is Kylington

Treliving won't be moving Bennett, who is one of, if not the only skater(s) on this roster to show the ability to raise his play in the playoffs.

 

[FinnishCoyote]

Wouldn't trade Grabner for that package even if it didn't include Neal.

 

[RABBIT]

Helllllll no from the Yotes

Easy no from Yotes unless you toss in a couple 1sts.

 

[Potty John]

If Neal is gonna get shipped out, I guarantee our 1st will be going along with him

Alex galchenyuk would thrive with gaudreau on the pp.
Alex galchenyuk is better than Bennett.

 

[mpir3]

Grabner was awesome this year before he basically lost his eye. You know nothing.

 

[Mosby]

Interested in taking on Neal if he's retained, but certainly not giving up value like Grabner to do it.

 

[Tad Mikowski]

Not only was Grabner one of our best PKers and best players but he has quickly endeared himself to the fanbase. I truly think Grabner is unavailable without significant overpayment coming back.

If Grabner’s a cap dump, I’d gladly take him off Arizona’s hands.

He is not. And it would take a huge overpay to trade him out of Arizona

Yeah I know, I was being sarcastic
