Its not even debatable
All I am saying is he will be BETTER down the stretch and in the playoffs because he will turn it up a notch and go to the tough areas. The proof is already there, he played way better after the ASB as many on here and in the media predicted.
I'm not defending anything, just saying he will play BETTER

Will he be better than Czarnik, who with an assist today now has 5 points in 6 games since replacing Neal?
Will he be better than Frolik, who is strong defensively and tenacious on the forecheck?
Will he be better than Mangiapane, who looks like he is breaking out offensively and has excellent underlying numbers?
Will he be better than Hathaway, who also kills penalties for us?
If not then Neal shouldn't play. Because he is not better than Gaudreau, Tkachuk, Lindholm, or Bennett.
