People have Neal slotted on the top line and thats perfectly fine, they're not likely wrong.
However, if we're talking about igniting scoring for say the top 3 lines. I feel James Neal would do best playing with Janko and Bennett. Someone to drag them up like Johnny and Monahan did for Ferland.
Lindholm is a great fit on the top line IMO. Neal score 20 in his sleep so everyone says, so why not use him to help the two players we need more out of. IIRC, those two kids were coming along quite nicely when they had Jagr on their wing. Neal will do the same.
