I suppose we will find out if last season was an anomaly or not. If he can't get over 20 goals playing with McDavid or on their 2nd line then he's probably done as some of his detractors here think. He's a better goal scorer than Chaisson ever was and playing with McDavid did wonders for him so I think it's fair to expect a bounce back season from Neal and the question will be just how much he bounces back.
