Kovalchuk's a little bit older but he's always been an elite skater, and has been an elite NHLer his whole career while Neal has been a top six complementary forward. I think Kovalchuk would absolutely fare better on our third line. This is a guy only seven years removed from carrying his team singlehandedly to the SCF, he's not a passenger even on a bad L.A. team. Neal has been playing better but I think Neal's ceiling is Kovy's floor at this point.
