I’m not actually against this idea. In fact, I actually think this is the more likely scenario due to future cap constraints. But to add that big piece that puts us over the top and makes us Stanley Cup favorites for a long time is very enticing.
I’ve seen and heard a lot of this “if Neal starts producing” for months now. It would be highly beneficial, but it’s a lot to ask based on what we’ve seen so far from him. He’s picked up his play a bit lately, but what happens when he starts to play lazy and lathargic hockey again for another long stretch, that’s not going to help this team at all in the bigger games good forward.
