My hope is he actually hurts McDavid's game especially on the defensive end so it ends up being a wash. So if Neal ends up netting 20-30 goals, maybe McDavid ends up as a minus player.

It won't take much. He was only a +3 last year, with 83 ES or SH points.
That said, I'm not sure that McDavid's pace is a good match for Neal. McDavid can only pass to the open guy if he's made it into the zone.
