Kessel is slightly better than Neal, but not the grand canyon gap that people here are giving. I still rather have Neal @ 5mil /yr than Kessel.
Over the last 3yrs
Kessel scored 2.1pts/60min, Neal 2.0
2 best wings are Tarasenko and Perry IMO
Difference is Kessel can legitimately help carry the weight of the offense. His shot is about the same. Kessel is as good or better at literally everything else. And Kessel doesn't need Malkin or Crosby to make use of his shot. If Malkin slumps, so does Neal. If Malkin is playing hurt, Neal becomes a worse hockey player. That won't be the case with Kessel.
