I don't know if 20 goals is realistic from the bottom six but reasonable expectation would be that he is one of Calgary's better even strength producers.
in 2018-19 Neal was ranked 13th of the 13 forwards on CGY in 5v5 P1/ 60 (400+ minutes logged)
in 2017-18 he was 4/15 on VGK
in 2016-17 he was 4/15 on NSH
in 2015-16 he was 3/20 on NSH
His dropoff last year at even strength was bizarre to say the least. He wasn't just poor relative the team as a whole, but poor relative to guys like Bennett, Ryan, Mangiapane, even Jankowski who were his typical linemates.
