<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Jdfitz77</b></div><div><div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>Swisspred</b></div><div>So Nashville trades a 50 point/ 25-30g player for a player who is 21 and unproven on the AHL level (38games 12 points), former 4th round pick.
I know it is only for a year of Neal but common you can do better than that (Andrew Shaw fetched a 2nd rounder...)

1 year of Milan Lucic cost the Kings: Colin Miller, Martin Jones and a first round pick
Even if you would throw in a first, Nashville would rather pay to not pick one of their forwards...</div></div>

You obviously aren't familiar with Fasching

I'd GLADLY give u a 2nd round pick instead of a good prospect if that's what u prefer</div></div>

I said said Shaw fetched a 2nd rounder, this was in no way a statement that Neal is as bad as Shaw...
Neal has a really important role on this Nsh team, i think it would need more than Fasching to trade him

<div class="quote"><div class="quote_t">Quoting: <b>grovercleveland</b></div><div>You see, there is this thing called the expansion draft...</div></div>

Nsh protects: Johansen, Forsberg, Arvidsson, Neal, Josi, Ellis, Subban, Ekholm
-&gt; exposed: Jarnkrok, Smith, Wilson, Sissons,...
Vegas takes probably Jarnkrok
So there are 3 scenarios:
1) Vegas takes Jarnkrok
2) Vegas takes one of Wilson/ Smith and receives a 2nd rounder (or something else)
3) Vegas takes Wilson/ Smith, on top of that Neal gets traded for Fasching
2&gt;1&gt;&gt;3

Same with Minnesota, etc. You have to pay almost the full price to get a player, because the teams will lose an asset in the expansion draft anyway. How do people not see that?
