The difference between the Oilers and Flames amounts to 104 goals. That same difference between Reider and Neal is 3.

I swear that fanbase’s answer to everything is “just play him with McDavid.”
And, despite the coaching staff’s best efforts, he cannot play every minute of every game. And for some reason, every year the fans and media are left to wonder why the shambles of a team they’ve assembled around him failed once again.
James Neal will be the latest in that trend.
