[QUOTE=CanadaMatt;6971543]Why do people continue to post this?... Neal plays on the top line every game after a PK...and has done sweet ###### all with that opportunity.

Reading this thread is so painful...folks trying to justify a 5.75 million, 12 point player (on pace for 20 points) with the worst +/- on the team.

Imagine being Lindholm and scoring like crazy, killing penalties and winning face-offs and having to look over at a player who makes 900k more and contributes a fraction of what Lindholm does on the ice.

That being said, there is progress...it appears he now understands how icing works.[/QUO

A couple short shifts per game (with probably zero practice time on the line) isn't the opportunity you think it is.
