I did note that Neal could rebound with the Oilers. My point was that he would never get that opportunity to rebound with us because he did not earn it and had zero fit in our lineup. Neal can rebound but it was never going to be with us. My point was that fans who still wanted to give him another chance misread the situation, he was never going to get that chance and didn’t deserve another chance.

Ya, well you can't put a guarantee on that prediction either, just because of what you saw last year.
For all we know he could have come in to camp in top shape, put in a high level of effort, had better chemistry with new linemates, began producing and moved up the lineup because of an injury.
Then traded for a 6th round pick.
