Neal has always been about swagger and bravado. The shtick with him was that he carried himself like he was Michael Jordan. Up until he joined Calgary, he was also able to put the puck in the net on a fairly regular basis.
Treliving thought the team needed goal scoring and an attitude adjustment. He thought Neal could bring both. Well his play totally dried up and he found out that bringing in a jerk doesn't by default help you play better in tough games.
