Here's a thought. The Neal signing is proof that Treliving is a good GM.
I know. Doesn't make sense, but if you assume that the goal was to acquire a veteran, gritty, playoff performer it follows that Treliving recognized that was indeed what the Flames were lacking. The fact that Neal failed to deliver is still on Treliving, but he had the right idea. I would suggest that the pro scouts are taking some heat internally at this point.
Just something that I was thinking about.
