Agreed! There is no excuse .He pretty much mailed it in all year. A lot of guys on the team worked really hard to make the playoffs while Neal pretty much put himself ahead of the team. He came to camp out of shape but the bottom line is he got paid to do his job and he didn't do it. Lots of guys make the playoffs every year and don't use the same excuse Neal used. Him dragging his attitude to the playoffs was ian insult to his teammates that worked hard to get there. I am not surprised he is scoring for the oilers, it just confirms he in fact mailed it in.

Brad on the other hand gave Neal and Brouwer too much money in term. He should have given the money but shorter term kind of a show me contract. If he had done that we wouldn't have had to trade for Lucic, and would have had more cap room .
