That Neal contract was such a shame. Pretty bad indictment of pro scouting
And man, that guy has had a horseshoe up his ass, building a career off of time with some good centres, as a PP specialist. Especially in Pittsburgh. (After Modano in Dallas)
Even in Edmonton last year, when he got 19 goals, 12 were on the PP, and they tried to see what else he brought, and even they are sick of his crap
Michael Ferland on his off wing got, what, 21 goals and 41 points? Didn’t have to pay 5.75 or whatever it was for a long term for that. That’s what a middle six winger *should* get if he’s gifted a spot on a top line
