Interesting trade concept though prob not beneficial for us. Yam is another small winger
He is, but he plays a lot bigger and has a non-stop motor.
If size is a concern, Kassian and Neal are both big wingers and before you write Neal off, his season was derailed due to Covid and was just starting to resemble himself during the last 2 weeks of the season. He has a consistent history (Calgary aside) of posting great numbers in his 1st season with a team.
I would use him on the 2nd PP unit and buy him out, if necessary in year 2. He still has some value as a scorer to a team, but there is no place for him in Edmonton anymore.
Kassian played like the physical beast he should be in game 3 and continued this play in game 4. He would be a good 3RW in Chi town, but definitely a clear upgrade on Connolly. He could be traded to a Met Div team, if it comes to it, due to the Tom Wilson factor.
Yamamoto has a boatload of value and could be traded for a good return if need be.
