Missed that post. Thanks for the information. That does help soften the blow and makes sense from a money and business perspective. I still don’t see the upside from a hockey perspective. I’m not sure the team is better. Unless Neal was such a huge distraction in the dressing room I struggle to see how this makes the team better. I’m looking forward to seeing how the team gels this fall, but right now I have concerns they have not improved their lot in any significant way.
