Yes, Neal if he somehow bounces back is a better hitter and a slightly better scorer than Frolik, but Frolik is
so much better in all other areas of hockey than Neal is that it's no contest.
The real point here is that Frolik is clear as day a much better
overall hockey player than James Neal. Full stop.
In any case you can't be confident on Neal bouncing back at this point or doing anything close to what he was supposed to be able to do. Just have to pray he can climb back up from the cliff a bit and maybe show that he's not totally done.
