However, that does not make him a better player, nor does it move the needle on the Oilers being a better team.
If the Oil ever acquire a couple of decent wingers, that pushes Neal back down the lineup to where he should be, and then Oiler fans will quickly come to understand what Flames fans already knoiw.

I believe EE said both, "the signing and trading of Neal". He is not just talking about the trade. "The signing and the trade that followed", was an organizational move that set had us back in more ways that one.
