i'm not sure what the big deal is? I'm sure he will get lots of time with Johnny and Mony this year. I'm just saying that I have little doubt he expected to play a regular shift with them when he signed. And, he's not as of right now.
You know how I know he didn’t expect that?

Because he’s an NHL player, and thems the bricks. He has also done ABSOLUTELY NOTHING this preseason to be gifted top line. No contract in the NHL has a clause written in it regarding what line they will play on.

It also doesn’t matter, at all. They are deep at forward and will roll lines and stick with who is hot at the time.

again, I don't disagree. I think he is too slow for that line. I'm actually very worried about his production. for five more years. maybe we can unload him to Seattle in 2020.

here's hoping i'm wrong.

I think he will be effective against favourable matchups and on the PP. He has a hell of a shot.

I have a feeling Neal is going to start out the season slow, but by the end of the season we'll all be pleased with his production. Just like every newcomer, we need to give him time and show patience. Neal will be fine.

Your cross to bear? I didn’t realise it was so hard on you.

Got a link to this segment to back up your original comment? Shouldn’t be too hard for you to find, right?

We don't even have him facing the net on the PP...

Neal will give you 20-25 goals but outside of that, not much.



He wasn't very good last year in Vegas either but rode the wave.

I like his 20+ goals per season and what he can provide for our offense. Hopefully we don't have to deal with this kind of stuff while he's a Flame. You can get under players skin without injuring them with cheap shots.
lol whatever, virgin.
