what does everyone think of maybe trying to get chris neil at the deadline if the sens are having a firesale?

i mean, we wont have the cap room to get a star player i dont think, so why not get a bit tougher...he could be like avery was when he got traded here

Sure he's a tough player, but we have one of those in Orr, plus he's a -11. And god knows we have enough minus players on our team. What this team needs is a scorer. Which with the Rangers cap situation is going to be very difficult to make happen. I would get used to the team you're looking at.
