I'm not too worried, Neal hasn't played on the top line in many if not most of his stops. His appeal is being able to light the lamp in many different situations.

I didn't slot him top line. I thought he'd fit in on the second. I agree he will be on PP1. I think his production will drop if his centre is Jankowski or Ryan, as opposed to Monahan or Backlund.
