Continue to love what this lineup looks like with Neal in it. Have to think that VGK would be interested in moving Neal if they get enough prospects and picks back.

CGY doesn't really have many meaningful picks to move at this stage, but Kylington is a guy I would consider moving after drafting Valimaki (and certainly Shinkaruk). Maybe remove VGK's 4th rounder, and make it a CGY 3rd in 2018. So: Neal <--> Kylington + Shinkaruk + Stajan + Conditional 3rd (2018). Pick converts to 5th rounder if Neal doesn't re-sign.

That price has to be a green light for CGY, the issue will be what other teams are offering up for Neal's services this summer. He's pretty darn effective at scoring and as a PP presence.

With Neal, I think you've nailed that Top 9.
