I can go outside for a walk and if I get hit by a car, does that mean that it was a bad decision in the moment? I mean, sure it ended up being a bad decision, but you can't predict if other humans are going to crap the bed on you. The Neal signing turning out to be bad is on Neal more than Treliving.

There is no scenario where Neal earns his contract AND the brouwer buyout amount, which is my point . Neal was basically signed as a 7m player when factoring in the buyout. Your analogy has nothing to do with hockey. Worst analogy ever.
