If Neal scores 40 points next year playing with McDavid and Lucic scores 20 points playing with Jankowski, it's a home run for Edmonton.

With four years left nobody claims victory after one season, especially the one where Neal is more likely to rebound.
But I hear you ... Neal will be judged on counting stats regardless of who he plays with because that's all he does.
The Flames bottom six will be better with the switch out for Calgary, and hopefully goal differential shows that as well.
