Crabcakes Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 ^^^thanks for the info. Agreed, looks like a nice pick up. Atta boy JB! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted June 28, 2015 Share Posted June 28, 2015 So we have at least two captains on our team now. Neill and Brisebois. Sounds like Benning is gunning for a team full of leaders. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thad Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 So how about all that talk of drafting from the Dub more... I like this pick more than Stewart haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Great story behind his game and looks like a committed guy to being better and making the NHL. I was also nervous when I saw he was a 2nd time eligable player, but with the late birthday, and his size to goal total ratio I don't mind this pick at all. Definitely added some points to J Roy's totals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Off_The_Schneid! Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 So does that meen that he is AHL eligible next season? Or I guess he could play another season in junior as an overager Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejazz97 Posted June 29, 2015 Share Posted June 29, 2015 Hoping Neill follows in the steps of Grenier, Hutton, Corrado, and Forsling and surprises everyone. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Brindy Gypsy Posted July 9, 2015 Share Posted July 9, 2015 Very impressed by Neill. Plays a style similar to a young Bieksa, just kinda fits in and finds ways to contribute whether a fight, nice O play, or big hit. Will definitely be a pro player one day. Surprisingly good hands for a Dman, good all around attributes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amish Rake Fighter Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 ^nice he sneaks down the wing in the O zone like a right handed Hutton Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derp... Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 If he was Brisboise age we would be freaking that he's the next Subban or something haha. Solid pick though, smart positioning, good hands, quick release, big one timer. What else do you want?? Size?? oh ya he's got size. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
canucklehead44 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Reminds me of Adam Polasek. In fact, the similarities are pretty crazy. Polasek 6'3 207lbs Physical player 5th round pick, 145th overall, from QMHJL 2nd year of eligibility 41 points in 66 games Neill 6'3 206lbs Physical Player 5th round, 144th overall, from QMJHL 2nd year of eligibility 40 points in 63 games Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DollarAndADream Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Should have picked Ryan Pilon or Radovan Bondra Should have drafted Kopitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bigbadcanucks Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 So does that meen that he is AHL eligible next season? Or I guess he could play another season in junior as an overager The kid just turned 19. He'll be 19 the entire 2015-2016. If we were good enough he could qualify for the U20 worlds. How does that make him an overager? The kid gets drafted as a 19 year old with a birthdate in July and buddy^^^ thinks Neill's already an over aged junior.

He didn't think twice about ripping into the guy that suckered his team mate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 Wow he looks pretty solid in his highlights. Good mobility and that shot is really good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeNiro Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Looks like Neill is wearing the C for Sherbrooke in preseason. So far he has 1G 3A in 2GP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gstank29 Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Looks like Neill is wearing the C for Sherbrooke in preseason.

Alflives Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 I've never heard of this guy. Keep the information flowing please. He sounds like another super pick by Benning! When someone said he's the next Subban, does that mean he's a little fellow? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted August 22, 2015 Share Posted August 22, 2015 Looks like Neill is wearing the C for Sherbrooke in preseason. So far he has 1G 3A in 2GP. Definite pattern to Benning's picks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
