He wouldn’t have to weigh in on the specifics of how they weighted him, but at least having the conversation around the numbers that we get to see as a general public would be an interesting change to the status quo.
I’m not saying Steinberg should go down the path of “what the hell were you thinking, didn’t you look at the numbers”, but rather deeper questions related to why they thought Neal would be a fit, where they saw him lining up when they saw him etc. I’d just love to see actual analytical discussion. More back and forth over actual hockey analysis. I know they can’t go down that path now with him being on a different team, as it’s kind of beyond that point - but when players get signed, or acquired, it’d be cool.
