James Neal's contract is worse than LEs. Let that sink in.

Lets just say all three contracts are major busts.. no need to sugar coat anything.
I think LE knows the fans are pissed at him and his contract, but what can the guy do?
He has been injured for most of the contract, and was essentially brought in to play with the Sedins
who are no longer here...
So blame management if anything.

@RRypien37 @Stelar I'm talking about the way Neal was talked about when they signed him and still think they have - Calgary thought they were getting a player with grit. This is the kind of thing the Cowgary media says about him: Neal plays with a grit and heaviness and has playoff experience that Bill Peters’ squad doesn’t have a ton of — intangibles that tend to become more valuable when you’re trying to wear an opponent down during the course of a best-of-seven series.

As far as Loui goes, if you want to complain about him go ahead, but he is a solid defensive player with 1/2 the offence we wanted. Sure thats not good, but its not the complete bust situations of guys like Lucic and Neal.
