JVR is about 1.5 years younger than Neal.
By all accounts I think JVR is a better skater too.

Slightly bigger, younger, faster and scores at a tad better pace.

If I had to pick, I guess I'd go with JVR. Really don't want to see the Flames dole out big money on a UFA winger, but these guys score a lot of goals, so if they do, they do I guess.
Like I was mentioning earlier sometimes you have to bite the bullet. Flames F’d up with Brouwer but I don’t envision JVR or Neal not being top 6 producers. Both have a long proven track record
