Lack of nhl skating? Check
Lack of nhl effort? Check
Lack of nhl caliber defensive play? Check
Zero sign of a threatening shot? Check
I mean Neal looked done as an nhler last year. Not sure how anyone who watched him closely would suggest the signs of decline aren’t clear yet. He literally showed zero signs he’ll ever be effective again imo.
Can he score 20+ with EDM? Wouldn’t surprise me. But he’s not an effective nhler at even strength. He’s dead weight.
