I think we win cause Neal can be bought out next year, buying out lucic saw virtually no cap relief for the first 4 years.

I’ll be ecstatic if Neal can score 10 , but I’m very doubtful. And dragging down our top line while getting 5 goals banked in off his ass doesn’t count.

But you must protect him for the expansion draft 🤣

Funny how he went from an absolute stud in Vegas, then like 3 months later he’s garbage, I wonder why.....

You’re delusional if you think he can’t bounce back

Pretty sure he will lose his ntc like subban did

The same thing that happened to Neal last year is gonna happen to another guy in Vegas in about 3 years, and the last 4/5 years of his contract are gonna be ugly.

wow i was sure neals contract ended this year but its freshly signed from last year and still has 4 more years? rip

still think he has more potential to become a decent 2nd line w again on a new team with only 1 trash year that could just have been a bad fit over lucic has been trash for a while with different systems and coaches

Lucic has put up better numbers within the last 3 and 5 years with 3 teams then Neal has with 3 teams. Lol. Back to back 50 pts seasons with la and and his first season with the oilers vs Neal's 40 pt seasons.

I'm not arguing for lucic. Hes a fuckin dinosaur, but as for Neal, I think all you east coast people need to stop living in 2013. If he puts up 20 goals with the oilers that will be the only thing. Bet he doesn't break 30 pts next year.

he had less p/g in last years even while having mcdavid carrying the shit out of his lazy ass in the last 3

and points you put up is one thing but if your a stage 4 cancer like lucic the negtive effect you have on the whole team im sure outweights your personnal production

Look all that matters is that the Oilers haven’t improved

Idk....
