Brown is a surprising and strange case of a rebound but it took him 4 full seasons to do it, so if that’s the best we can hope for with Neal a buyout is still better.
Neal isn’t just going to “get going” for next season

So Eric Staal going from 39pts to 76pts in 2 years is not a 30 something player bouncing back?
Neal switched teams 3 years in a row playing deep in the playoffs the 3 years before he came to the Flames. A long summer could be what he needs to bounce back and reset. It is unlikely but not impossible citing a couple of examples of players people thought were done that were able to bounce back.
