Seriously? That's the group you want to argue my point with?
Thornton and Weber were moved more than once? And I don't know if you noticed, but they've been core players for their team.
Wheeler couldn't agree to an ELC contract with Phoenix. He signed his ELC with Boston, and again, was traded once, to Atlanta which became Winnipeg. So essentialyl, moved only once and absolutely considered a core player.
Has Hall moved more than once? Was Hall not considered to be a core player in Edmonton (HOPE rings a bell?) up until the trade? I mean, you'd know better than I would as an Oilers fan.
Pronger is a possible exception but the wasn't traded for peanuts either and I would believe he was considered a core player in St Louis. Nine seasons as a member of the Blues before being traded to Edmonton due to being a cap casualty (literally the implementation of the salary cap as well as the team being sold at the time.)
Where exactly does Neal fit in with those players, the importance to their teams, and their career histories?
Neal was never traded for peanuts either. He was always traded for a premium player (at the time). He was then selected by Vegas over some other good Nashville players, and then signed a big contract to leave Vegas.
Neal was also very highly regarded on every team he played for by the players. Ill value what guys on Nashville/Vegas/Pitt say about his leadership. And that is that its top notch
