So close! I though Kessel had him with the funny faces. Maybe next year... till then

 

[Contender]

How is this even a question? Kessel is on a whole different level than Neal.

 

[HuskerTornado]

yes, by a lot.

I'm about as big a fan of Neal as there is, but Kessel's easily the better player. Comparable shots, but Kessel's a lot faster and capable of creating chances himself instead of serving purely as a triggerman. Plus he's right-handed, which will make all the difference for our PP.

Same here. I liked Neal while he was here but give me Kessel any day.

 

[PensFreak]

Kessel has the ability to create on his own, and Neal slowly lost that ability over his time here.

The problem is: they aren't built to be the same player/type of player, but James Neal became that type of player, which isn't his game.

False premise, Neal never had that ability to start with, he shined with the Pens being masterfully setupped. He'll never regain that supposed ability with the Preds because he never had it in the 1rst place. Look at what he did with Ribeiro who isn't exactly a bad passer/setup dude.

Hornqvist vs Neal, now we're talking although they're very different players but the Phil is on a whole different lvl than these guys. Not even close.

Coming up soon to yer nearest theaters, the Kessel comet, new & improved. Better setups, better workouts.

 

[Son Goku]

Neal isn't close to Kessel honestly

 

[PattyKane16]

Neal has the best wrist shot I've ever seen, but I think that Kessel is the better finisher, and can make his own shots. Thats why Hornqvist had a better statistical year than Neal, Neal didn't have a good playmaking center in Nashville.

Why is Americanness a tie?

 

[Jacob]

Why even ask this? Are you genuinely undecided?

 

[Mr Jiggyfly]

Current wingers better than Kessel:

Ovechkin

.... and that about covers it.

 

[IcedCapp]

Why is Americanness a tie?

why ask why?

 

[PKV Jungle Friends]

Neal couldn't create plays on his own. Kessel can and will.

Kessel > Neal in a landslide

Ovechkin

Despres...

He was a winger, right?

I'd throw Perry in there, but it's still a small list.

I don't think it's fully sunk in for me yet that after all these years we'll have one of the best wingers in the league playing alongside Sid and Geno.

 

[Darth Vitale]

Why even ask this? Are you genuinely undecided?

Because we're bored and we need to have meaningless internets arguments even when the answer to the question is pretty obvious.

 

[Son Goku]

Kessel can be one of the best offensive players in the world. You'll see as far as his skill and production he isn't all that far off of our centers

 

[PKV Jungle Friends]

Yep.

93 days to go.

It won't sink for me until the season is started. Its awesome knowning Kessel is on the pens

[Son Goku]

I'd say Kane is a little better than Phil.

Perry, Nash, Kane, Benn?
