I'd suggest bumping Frolik to play with Hathaway and Ryan and put Neal with Tkachuk and Backlund to try and jump start him right away. If it doesn't work after a few games you can go back to 3M and, IMO, continue to sit Neal or put him in for Eatbread, but I don't see why. I don't see what he's earned over anyone thats been playing in his absence, they have done nothing but improve on his play.
If you give him a shot out of the gate we can a gauge if he actually feels like playing or not. Getting Neal back sounds nice on paper, but he's been pretty much a non-factor since landing here.
