As bad as Turris was this year, he was still better than Neal and center is a far bigger need for us than wing.

 

[LOUISVILLE ICE CARDS]

Love Neal to death but it would cost most from Calgary to get Turris. Turris had a bad year and I really think he will come back next year and be better

 

[Bond]

Done

 

[Porter Stoutheart]

Turris was pretty bad, but at least he had an excuse with the broken and re-broken foot thing (supposedly). And the Preds still need a 2C somehow, some way, so praying for Turris to rebound into that again might be what it comes down to.

Now if the Preds find another way to get a center (e.g. signing Duchene), and magically have the cap space to add a winger, maybe there is some scenario in which this could work... but I'm doubtful... I'd take a 7th round draft pick before I'd take Neal. I don't think Turris' value has fallen quite that much yet. Or I hope it hasn't. But strange enough things have happened... call us back if for some reason we get Duchene and in late August we still for some reason couldn't trade Turris and somehow the $250k difference in cap hit means something to us. I'm thinking there is about 0% chance this would all play out.

 

[Potty John]

Calgary does this without even thinking about it.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Have Calgary add a pick and it's not bad. I think is a prime candidate for a rebound.

 

[Armourboy]

Eh don't think so.

 

[Bringer of Jollity]

No, the Neal in Nashville ship has sailed. Turris will bounce back after having sufficient time to heal and train.

 

[treple13]

Calgary would gladly add to make this deal happen.

 

[culturaldingo]

I wouldn't say Neal is "done"

He just doesnt fit Calgarys transtion game. He will bounce back I'm sure, the guy has been nothing but a 25 goal scorer his entire career.

 

[Patagonia]

Neal is almost Lucic bad. Turris still has value and could be dumped to teams willing to resurrect his career.

 

[CraigsList]

Neal’s already on the plane.

No take backs.

We’d add in this deal, but I like the thought process behind it.

 

[Turning Mangiapanese]

Yes please.

 

[lostinwarsaw]

Pens fan making this proposition

 

[herzausstein]

Turris even after battling injuries this season has been better than Neal. Nashville says no as this doesn’t save us much caption and we will need to find another center to play 2C but we don’t have much caproom

 

[FameFlame069]

In this scenario, I'd gladly add, Neal with 500K retained (saves Nashville space) + Dube for Turris(or Janks + 3rd instead of Dube)

 

[DarthProbert]

I think the best part of this trade is that it opens up a spot for Nashville to trade a D for a better 2C than Turris.

Okay but if we don't make the trade what's stopping us from making a trade for a better C than Turris? It's not like Neal is adding value for us.
