Description
Oilers fans, myself included, seem befuddled regarding Barrie's long-term presence on this club. Something regarding Barrie, Bear, Bouchard, Larrson, and there only being three "spots" for a right-handed defender.

If Holland does want to sign him and he's willing to sign a club-friendly deal (hopefully Larsson does as well), is reviving the Bouchard-Bear pairing an option? The one game they played together featured ridiculous shot metrics (Koskinen couldn't stop a beach ball that game).

I've been locked into the lefty-righty paradigm for a while: we don't often see clubs try righties on their off-side because most clubs don't have that kind of surplus. Is it an option - at least for a season - until Broberg and Samorukov make the transition to the NHL? A midseason return from Klefbom makes that a surprisingly competent defense corps, assuming he takes over for Lagesson.

      Additional Details:
      Draft pick values suggest that Edmonton is leaving value equivalent to the #39 pick on the table in this deal: instead of asking for the much higher DET 2nd, Edmonton uses that gap in value to shed Neal with his buyout hit retained.

      Term and a lower hit considered, it's not far off in value from the Staal dump.

      Good for you. Still need to hit the cap floor and you're getting him for the value of the #39 pick. If you want to run the arithmetic yourself: https://bluebulletreport.com/2020/10/05/2020-nhl-draft-rankings/

      I'll fully concede that it doesn't make sense for the Red Wings to give up three picks to acquire the Edmonton 1st rounder, but that value still needs to be met elsewhere. Both teams have something to gain from making the swap of picks. Detroit should be looking for quality, and Edmonton quantity.

      The Red Wing's options then are to include a player with value or take back a negative value. It's not even a matter of opinion, it's just math. I don't believe Neal's sub-$4M hit impedes the Red Wings finances in any shape or form. His veteran presence and PP utility offers at least something to a team not expected to finish rebuilding for another 2-4 years.

      The deal's fine.

      Which is fine, but I'm not particularly interested in subjective criticism, especially the kind that actually breaks the rules and doesn't offer anything constructive. I don't care to warn/infract you for it in this case, but please make note that such empty replies are beginning to be looked down upon and cracked down on.

      Yzerman laugh Neal with $2,000,000 retention and the Oilers 2021 1st round pick doesn't net you the 45th and 55th OA pick. Neal is a worthless cap dump to us there's noway he'd even make our lineup he'd be spending the next 2 years or so in GR. The 2021 NHL draft is basically meh after the top 10 so i doubt Yzerman does this trade. Detroit would easily pass Yzerman would probably want the Oilers 2022 1st round pick instead with a better draft.
