No. They just think that a real top six winger magically turns into Jari Kurri when matched with Sid or Geno.newarenanow wrote:I honestly think some people think a top 6 winger has to be a superstar.Gaucho wrote:Kunitz and Neal are not Top 6 wingers?

He was saying that in all of this Jagr talk Neal is the forgotten man and no one knows what to do with him.TheHammer24 wrote:Dear God. How does one become a "sports analyst."

Really? Funny, because I say you plant him right next to Crosby or Malkin and let Dupuis/Kennedy fight it out for the remaining Top-6 player through the year, unless you try the Staal/Malkin line again (Crosby, Malkin, Kunitz, Neal, Jagr, Dupuis/Kennedy/Staal). Talk about some good competition between Kennedy/Dupuis, and having no real losing situation if one wins out over the other, since you just swap them back and forth between the Top-6 and 3rd line.
I agree with you; I was shocked when he said that, because normally he's pretty good talking sports.

I honestly think though that some people think in order to have a "legit" top 2 lines, it has to not only be filled with Crosby and malkin, but also a bunch of Hossa's, Kovalchuk's etc.
It's a playstation mentality.

Re: Penguins want Jagr back?!
A lot of casual fans really have no idea just how good Neal is/can be. He's going to make most people forget about Goligoski this year. The guy hits, backchecks, and has one of the fastest releases I've seen in a while.

Re: Penguins want Jagr back?!
I for one thought Neal played well but for not finishing. His shooting percentage will increase to his career average, he is an RFA, just an awesome trade by RS.

Re: Penguins want Jagr back?!
No one said that, but having a "complete" line in the sense that you have a legit 1st or 2nd line of LW-C-RW. We have 4 in Crosby, Malkin, Kunitz and Neal. It would be nice to finish one line with a RW. No one says it needs to be Kovalchuk or Hossa. But it can be someone better than Dupuis/Kennedy. Jagr fits that bill. There's plenty of other affordable players that could not only produce more than Kennedy/Dupuis, but compliment them better.newarenanow wrote:I agree.itissteeltime wrote:There aren't a ton of teams with 2 wingers as good as Kunitz and Neal.TheHammer24 wrote:No. They just think that a real top six winger magically turns into Jari Kurri when matched with Sid or Geno.newarenanow wrote:I honestly think some people think a top 6 winger has to be a superstar.Gaucho wrote:Kunitz and Neal are not Top 6 wingers?
