Just think it's a topic that's reach is endgame.
Neal was never going to crack the top PP unit in CGy, and so far Lucic has fit into the bottom six about the same as Neal had with some better results. Like I said before, as long as Lucic brings the efforts every night, I'm good. It's the best I was hoping for.
Neal can score 50 and I couldn't care less, because that's not something that would ever happen on the Flames. It just wouldnt.
What did Neal in when he signed here was one thing, the instant and undeniably perfect fit Elias Lindholm has with the top line. And it literally took one shift in China to settle who was gonna be on the top line. From then on, Neal was doomed in CGY. No top until pp time, no top line time unless it was after a PK. Nothing.
So Lucic can pot as many points as Neal did and I wont care. Jus police the ice and keep the other teams honest.
That's all we are gonna get. And settle in because it's not ending anytime soon.
