My take on James Neal
He didn't get to play on the top line when the Flames signed him and then signed Lindholm so he pouted and played like crap.
After being traded, he played well for about 60% of a season with the Oilers where he got most of his goals while playing with McDavid and then he was injured and came back and he wasn't playing with McDavid as much so he pouted and played like crap.
He may do well in St. Louis as long as he has generous ice time and great line mates... if not... he will probably pout and play like crap.
