You are right - he gets no bounces. Passes come just outside of prime position, pucks bounce the wrong way, etc. I think he's not found a good matchup linemate wise and I think he's not in the right spot on the PP.
I think Backlund isn't a fit due to his role, Jankowski doesn't have the vision to find Neal most of the time and Ryan doesn't have the passing ability. Dube when he was up is too up-tempo.
I'd still like to see Tkachuk-Bennett-Neal. I think Bennett's agressiveness would rub off some, Tkachuk is a decent playmaker, and works the puck well.

I would like to see Quine-Bennett-neal or Czarnik-Bennett-Neal or Jankowski-Bennett-Neal. What's it gonna take for Peters to put Bennett down the middle with Neal?
