Bench Neal for 4 games and see how he reacts when back on the ice. 2 is time off 4 is sending a real message. Treliving and Peter's evaluate honestly without contract bias how his return is with open comparisons to how Neal's replacement contributes.
For all that is holy STOP coddling this guy with PP time and the occasional shift with M&G. In no way should a healthy Lindholm ever lose a shift to Neal, ever.
