Prokop was great for us...
Neal was awesome last year for T.C. and his skating sure was not an issue. He was the prototypical power forward everyone wants. He used his size to get the puck and caused traffic in front of the net. Maybe his below average skating was compensated for because his linemates (and most of the whole team) were so fast. I doubt he alone would've made that much a difference against Calgary though, they were just flat out the better team.
He sure had a career year for us, and Bob made a great trade since Jason Gardiner sure didn't pan out here.
I've heard rumors he may be back, but I'll believe it when I see it. I sure hope so though, Neal was a big part of this team last year.
