Neal's playing better now that he's recovering from Covid. It hit him really hard before camp and he couldn't get back in shape. If you did want to get rid of his contract a buyout is 1.9 mil, and won't cost a 1st. and if it does I'd pass. Samorukov is a highly regarded prospect and I wouldn't trade him to dump 2 years of a bad contract. People who are saying he's a fringe prospect have never seen him play, he'll be in the NHL in 2 years and will be a second pairing anchor in 4.
