I think some were concerned with giving up the first for Hamonic. But I think it was more about the value of that asset. Most thought Hamonic would help the team kick open their window
He did not

Everyone was super high on Neal until he got here and then it was super easy to tell he was junk and the wheels had come off.

What a combo Smith and him in the dressing room must have been.

I could envision Neal talking about himself in the third person, I remember seeing a clip of him getting into with Peters at practice over his ice time.

I'm too busy to look up the Neal thread, but not everybody was high on Neal.

Obviously not everyone, but the general consensus here, and around the league was that this was a good signing. Perennial 20g scorer, was supposed to be the missing piece on the top line.
