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.

I’m actually pretty sure Neal was the wrong answer in almost every way possible. Treliving is a good GM, but his vision was wrong IMO. James Neal was just another Troy Brouwer but with an even worse contract.
Now once again, we’re stuck wondering what to do with another bad contract with ever decreasing cap space and more questions than answers for Brad Treliving for second straight summer.
I do think you’re right about the pro scouts though. For every solid move, there seems to be a gargantuan mistake behind it. That doesn’t seem like a recipe for success.
