I wouldn't be surprised to see Neal's powerplay production outstrip his ES production. That Oilers second line is going to be a disaster.

Agreed.
What IS frustrating, however, is he's properly being deployed on a powerplay where he can undoubtedly contribute, whereas he didn't get the same opportunity here.
Amplifying that frustration is watching the Flames early season PP sputter.
