Neal is firmly cemented in as a 3rd line RW like it or lump it for at least the rest of the year and most likely next year as well. He’s playing markedly better hockey right now and to me seems poised to score in bunches down the stretch here which would be huge. If anything I’d like to see a bigger name 3rd line Center to play with Neal/Bennett which would push Janks down to the 4th line left wing taking strong side draws with Ryan which would hammer home just how deep this team is.
