Neal was placed on waivers Tuesday in order to buy out his contract, Sportsnet's Chris Johnston reports.
Neal found himself periodically serving as a healthy scratch this season and was limited to just 29 regular-season appearances in which he generated five goals and five assists. Still, the veteran winger extended his personal playoff streak to 11 straight seasons, which is incredibly impressive considering he accomplished that feat with five different franchises. While his $5.75 million cap hit was certainly cost-prohibitive given his production last year, Neal will certainly sign on the dotted line somewhere ahead of the 2021-22 campaign and could be a decent mid-range fantasy option.
