I see Neal as RNH winger. I don’t personally see him with Mcdavid a ton. Unless mcdavid blows by everyone circles the net and can catch Neal who is just getting to the slot, I don’t think they play much 5v5 together.

Is Nuge's line not used as a two-way, shutdown line against the opposition's better players? There's no way Neal could survive on a line like that.
It'll take a month before Neal is floating around on the bottom two lines just like in Calgary.
