A couple of weeks ago I thought neal just needed rest and would bounce back. After finding out he didnt want to be here, my attitude toward him changed. The more I read about him, the more I thought he would be perfect for the oil. I was really surprised to read about people talking to Looch to convince him to come to the Flames, it made me think there was more to him than I originally thought. I brushed off his advanced stats because he was an oiler (and I'm not a huge fan of advanced stats) but it's hard not to get excited when you compare them to Neal's stats. Another thing is that neal was supposed to be "rough and/or dirty and wasn't at all, Looch always at least has that and the Flames really need that on the team imo.
