I am sure they could have traded him, but at what cost? I'd take Ghost over Neal and it wasn't cheap to move him out, also there are plenty of other bad contracts that teams are stuck with, Most of the guys that were left exposed to the draft are still on their teams or team paid a lot to move them.
Is buy-out player ideal? of course not, but when we moved Lucic for Neal one of the reasons people liked the deal was because the contract was much easier to buy out. So, now that we do that, everyone is pissed? I don't even mind the buy-out that much, with the money it frees up, it should be easy to find a player that is a better fit for our bottom 6 than Neal.

There’s hate for Keith? I love the acquisition.
I’ve also really come around on Hyman. Term of 7 is a big meh, and 5.5 is probably 500k or more of an overstuffed burger but for what he injects into this top 6 is something we’ve sorely lacked.
I’m not so worried about this team 4-5-6 years from now. We need results now. Results now makes those 4-5-6 years from now easier to attract players as well.

My thumbs up was for the Neal buy out.. I'll edit my response above..
I'm happy with Keith trade, could have retained a couple mil in retrospect considering Chicago's successful acquisition of S. Jones, but its a relatively small amount for only 2 years.

P. Chiarelli math.. T. Hall = A. Larsson, Yak= bag o'pucks (OK he got one right...) K. Russell = $4.1 M+NMC, G. Reinhart= M. Barzal + A. Beauvillier, J. Eberle = R. Spooner,
