One thing we have to keep in mind is that Neal was generally a PP1 player and played higher up the line-up. I think we'll get a motivated player that delivers at a .5 ppg rate for the remainder of the season - and I'd think that would be more than acceptable given his spot on the depth chart.
It's cool to have depth. I love Neal. Every time he talks, he just sounds like a veteran that knows how to win - and we're winning.

Not playing with Jankowski and Bennett he won't, nor should that be expected with that duo.
