I think this is splitting hairs. Lots of teams every year have players that record career years, and this does NOTHING to devalue the contributions of others who did not. Last season Gaudreau, Monahan, Tkachuk, Lindholm, Giordano all smashed their career highs. Does that devalue Backlund's performance last year? Or Hamonic's?
There are plenty of reasons to be disappointed in James Neal, but to criticize his performance in VGK is just obviously petty and irrelevant.
