VGK will lose him to the UFA to make a run this year... they won't deal him... Also your offer is kind of insulting to a team who's trying to make a run for the cup.

Like I said, "If true." Kypreos could just be stirring the pot, but who knows. Also this is what I'd give. I still believe Vegas is trying not to be a one year wonder and this would help that cause. They get future picks and potential roster players for Neal instead of nothing. I know they want a Cup like everyone else but I don't see them going All-In. If they want a player back for Neal to take his place then it would never happen. For example, why would the Preds give up Smith to get Neal? That's just made a lateral move or a slight improvement at best for a player who's leaving next year regardless. Besides, Vegas could sell him for picks and prospects then resign him next summer, then they get both.

Right, I'm not saying to make a lateral move, but a team rich in RHD could give them the defenseman they need in exchange for... This way they wouldn't be losing him for nothing and they'd be gaining a piece that would help them in their playoff push. Don't know who you have in Milwaukee that's ready to go??? but that is their need right now from what I see...

It's hard to tell with the D-men on the Ads. They're buried behind the best blue line in the NHL and NSH likes to move guys along slowly. If there was a guy there that could contribute now it would probably be Carrier. He's our second best D prospect behind Fabbro.
