As is, Neal is a good goal scoring fit for a team that is in direct competition with the Flames. The Oilers are two points ahead of the Flames, they are +6 as a team and Neal has 12 goals. The Flames are definitely a better team, and should still be ahead in the long run, but Neal has been a good boost to them and made them better than they were.

See I don’t get this. Do people actually think Neal is a good hockey player? If you watched him last season you’d know he isn’t. He’s total garbage. We sabotaged them by giving them Neal. Good fit for their needs? I didn’t know their needs were to acquire more players that are god awful 5 on 5. Neal doesn’t significantly improve the Oilers at all imo.
