Well, they called it a lower body injury. Either way, he wasn't in the game to exact revenge on Giordano. And Neal missed the last game of the year as well, as a confirmed healthy scratch, in the playoffs, where he was supposed to shine.
I don't know if being positive is annoying to people, but that's the side I'm choosing on this topic. I just don't see how this is horrible. It's lateral with potential upside for both teams and both players. Distancing myself from my Oilers hatred, this is a good hockey trade.
