The concern is immediate. The concern is the ability to sign chucky next year. The concern is not having enough cap space to be opportunistic at the deadline and make a run for it. This concern arises because a 5.75mm 3rd liner who plays against the other teams bottom defensive pair and can’t freaking contribute on the scoreboard is taking up valuable cap space.

No, the concern is not immediate. And it is not I that is embarrassing themselves. You're having a hairy conniption because Neal hasn't clicked yet. Remember when Hamilton joined the Flames and really struggled for 20 games? Then he settled in and the people that were freaking out looked like fools.
Remember when Hamonic joined the team last year and struggled to find his game with the Flames? Some people freaked out about that too.
Now you're freaking out about a guy who, while he hasn't got his scoring groove on yet, has been playing pretty well and contributing in other ways.
His presence is not going to deter the Flames from re-signing Tkachuk. SO chill your #### and give it a rest.
