Player Discussion Predict James Neal pt totals for this coming season

[Bring Back Bucky]

Hockey News fantasy guide has Lucic for 28 points, Neal 49.

Lucic scoring 15 points sounds more realistic to me.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Lucic scoring 15 points sounds more realistic to me.

Lucic even playing 28 games seems more realistic.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

I see Neal getting 42 goals and 77 points on McDavids wing. The guy is called the Real Deal for a reason. The coach had a vendetta against him because he’s too strong of a leader and challenged him so he buried him on the third line with scrub linemates.

 

[spoutbec]

I think he gets enough and outscores Lucic by enough to easily get Calgary the 3rd and I'll be LMAO.
Ha Ha, enjoy Lucic and the 3rd losers.

33-31-64

Even if he doesn't perform this is still a great deal for the Oilers. Lucic has a NMC and isn't worth being bought out so they'll have to protect him for the expansion draft. (Sorry if that's a repost.)

TSN's youtube channel had a good interview with Neal today.

Certainly like his attitude and he said a lot of the right things.

Now of course he has to back up that with his play on the ice... but he looks to be a pretty hungry player with something to prove which is a good thing for the Oilers.

He brings up a good point.
Some people will call it an excuse but I totally believe him when he says the back to back finals and moving to Calgary took a toll on his body and he didn't get into the season fully ready.

Here is a super hot take.

He trained a lot with McDavid.
He says he is really excited to be here.

I bet he wanted to sign with the Oil last year but Peter Dumbass Chiarelli shrugged him off

Toilets did not have the cap space

 

[SwedishFire]

30 goals is real. He just need to smash in pucks in a radius of 1,5 m in front of the net. In wich he is very good at. No reason to he wont do that. He also will get 5 min PP time / game.

 

[Todd from Leduc]

I know it will taper off but Neal is currently on pace for 82 goals!!

 

[Da McBomb]

Lol on CP... they've started counting down the goals to a 3rd round pick. I guess whatever makes you feel better about the deal Cowtown!

If he signed here originally last year, who the hell we trading Lucic for

 

[TopShelfGloveSide]

I enjoy seeing how happy he looks.

 

[tiger_80]

They should take Lucic back for a 6th round pick next summer, if Calgary eats 5M of his salary)))

I’d still pass. Lucic brought nothing his last couple of years. There’s cheaper 12th/13th forward options available.

And that 3rd will turn into the next Kucherov with the Oilers luck.

There was a rumour that Oilers actually offered more money but Neal chose the Flames.

 

[Bank Shot]

There was a rumour that Oilers actually offered more money but Neal chose the Flames.

Got a link for that? Oilers didn't have $6 million to offer anyone last summer.

 

[Bring Back Bucky]

I’ve reworked the numbers and done some advanced statistical calculations and believe he’s looking at 82g 0a

If he did that nobody would be talking about buying him out, he’d be on a bargain contract.

I’d be very pleasantly surprised if he scored 40+, but hey he’s got the track record and he’s hungry to score.

I disagree, that's just your opinion bud.

What you need to realize is that "ToddfromLeduc" is a CP Flames fan who poses as an Oilers fan because he thinks his posts are actually funny. They aren't, but I guess if he's having fun then good for him?

Thanks for the heads up...now I am informed as well.
