If Neal couldn't keep up with our top guys (and he was given ample opportunity to do just that), how on earth is he going to keep up with McDavid?
Honestly, at least Lucic has a role he can fill on the Flames, and won't complain about what he's being asked to do, even if he's being ridiculously overpaid for it. I didn't see any chance that Neal could do anything of value for the Flames, considering he fell flat on his face every time he was given a chance to show what he had last season, even being BENCHED in the last playoff game.
