Actually, Vegas wanted Neal back. The Flames just sadly outbid them.

That’s what I’m saying though, your scouts have to know what’ll work and what won’t. If I can tell that the James Neal experiment was going to fail after watching him in 2 preseason games, then surely the higher ups in Flames management should’ve been more careful. Alas, that’s just another strike on their record.
