Same salary as this season.

Given the moved out bodies with the Phaneuf deal and the youth of the team, it's ok. They got roster space to get some new bodies and Neil is a good vet in terms of mentorship. Neils footspeed has slowed to the "it's an issue level" though.

I would have been ready to say goodbye in the summer.

I expected way worse. The 1 year is the important part here. Neiler gets to play his 1000th game and retire a Sen and his spot opens up for a young guy the year after.

Not bad BMurr.

Good deal. He's not the same player he once was but this deal will get him to a 1000 games and he'll be able to retire a senator. Money is a non-issue.

Plan the parade.

Glad we have that grit and toughness on our 4th line for next season.
