I know that it’s good to be optimistic but let’s not be delusional, this has gone about as bad as a big $ free agent signing can possibly go.
We are 30 games in. It's not gone well. But I think it will still work itself out.
Hamonic was called a bad acquisition this time last year, is my point. And as soon as he found his fit, it turned around. I see more Hamonic in Neal's play than Brouwer. And, yeah, I think it's about the players around him as much as him.

As far as "big UFA signings" go, I'd take Neal over Lucic any day, all day. Though I don't like "big UFA signings as a general principle", preferring UFAs to be for depth only.
