The only thing that was theoretically better is Neal was a proven top 6 forward whereas the other two were 3rd liners.


Flames just need to stay away from support wingers who can’t drive play or leech off of their linemates. I remember wanting David Perron instead of James Neal because he was the considerably better driver of play.

Well now...it looks to be the case and it’s not even close. Thought Neal would at least get to the double digit mark playing with Gaudreau. What a disaster of a signing. The Pro scouts on this team need to be re-evaluated big time.
