Massive failure on behalf of Treliving, unless, there is something regarding the Neal situation that is not disclosed (unhappy, health, team chemistry).
I expected Neal to be worth more, he’s only one season removed from 25 goals and consecutive play off success. I’m assuming Tre knows better than me though. Still looks like a #### deal.

Someone is going to play on McDavid's wing and thus, presumably, pot a bunch of goals.
If it's Neal, then the Oilers are not a better team.
Those stats may make you and some other people feel that the Oilers won the trade. But it's about winning, not how many goals some player gets. And if you're wasting another year of McDavid by putting Neal on his wing so that Neal gets some goals and it looks good optically for the trade, well... that's not winning.
The Oilers remain a disaster, regardless of this trade.
