Past performance does not equal future expectations.
It's a nice piece to get don't get me wrong. But I'm not going to start congratulating the Flames for drafting the next Brayden Point right now with the pick. Need to see what they do with it first.
In either case, I'd have rather not spent money on Neal and had more options to use 5.25 million in cap space elsewhere the past three years and the next two than this "Sure thing" third round pick.
