If you think Neal is in the same realm as Lucic you need to start watching games and stop just looking at the stats column. Either that or your ability to assess a hockey players effectiveness is extremely poor.
I can’t wait until Neal starts scoring and all these ridiculous overreactions stop. Take a deep breath, the Flames are in 1st, there’s no need to be outraged at Neal. Absolutely none. Grow up.

“Grow up.” ? Sorry if your argument is clinging to an unsustainable shooting percentage as an indication Neal will turn it around I don’t know what to tell you either.
He looks slow, and more often than not pucks are getting turned over the other way, than anything dangerous heading towards the oppositions net.
I hope Neal does turn it around, but what I’ve seen this year is alarming.
The comparison to Lucic is extreme, but for what he’s paid if he continues to be a peripheral player that’s where it’s trending.
