James Neal Shipped To The Edmonton Oilers
5 years agoThe Calgary Flames shipped right wing James Neal to the Edmonton Oilers on Friday for veteran left wing Milan Lucic. Neal registered just seven goals and 19 points with a minus-5 rating across 63 games in Calgary, his lowest point production across a full NHL season. It was a far cry from the 25 goals and 44 points he posted in 2017-18 with the expansion Vegas Golden Knights. He is still just 31 years old, so Neal has plenty left in the tank. Perhaps a change of scenery will do him some good, and if he is able to skate alongside Connor McDavid and Leon Draisaitl, he might be able to get back into the 50-60 point neighborhood, or even higher.
