I am super guilty of loving the Neal signing when it went down. I thought it capped off an unbelievable offseason for Treliving who was able to make the big trade with the Hurricanes and was able to add Ryan and the Czarnik signings which were applauded.

I thought with Ferland out and Lindholm in the Flames improved their top 6 but they needed another top 6 forward. Rumors Neal wanted the 6x6 so when the Flames for him for less than that without any clauses I thought it was a great move.

Obviously it was a disastrous signing that Treliving was able to get out of and provide the team with a much better fit albeit overpaid in Lucic. Going back to how that offseason could have been so much better the Flames should have been offering Bennett+Jankowski+ to get RoR instead.
