I mean.... this ... stinks.... but it stunk since Neal got here, really.
I was an apologist for Neal all year, part of the "he'll come around" crowd. He didn't.
And what really annoyed me was how disconnected he seemed - it's one thing to not be right on top of every shot, not "feeling it". But his play without the puck was so bad, so lazy, so ineffectual, that honestly, hell, yeah, let's bring Lucic in, he literally can't be worse.
But we now have eleventeen left wingers and the right side is horribly thin - it was thin before Neal left. So there's gotta be something else in the works here.
