Whereas I'd love to move Lehtonen, I can't see Dallas making this deal. With the draft coming to Dallas next June, definitely don't see Nill trading our 1st rd pick, unless it looks like we need a major piece to make a run for the cup. This deal also sways a little too much to Vegas for me. Lehtonen & Pickard are relatively similar in value, with cap hit & youth leaning to Pickard, so I could see a 4th needing to be included. This would then mean Neal comes for a 1st, and his value is no longer that high imo. I don't believe Dallas would even need Neal, offensively we look good as of now, would be back up netminding & D where Dallas still has question marks. Outside of us dealing 1 D to free up opportunity, I don't see Dallas doing much more until what we have can be evaluated with games played together.
