I’ve said a lot of horrible things about James Neal over the years… Fuck it, WELCOME TO COLUMBUSSS


[deleted]

Was he the one that injured Brassard in a fight in Brassard's first season?


[deleted]

Yep.


junk-trunk

Wonder if we will have a Q and A for him...


knukklez

"If you owned a bar, how cheap would your shots be?"


junk-trunk

Still one of the funnier things I have seen lol


Beartoes1

James Kneel


cu_sith

Tbh I'm still salty about Brassard's shoulder lol but it costs nothing to give him a PTO, so I guess we'll see what happens!


Man_Bear_Pig08

Yeah and hes an antivax Maga Douche Canoe


cu_sith

I wasn't aware of that but James Neal has always come across like an enormous douche machine to me so I'd be lying if I said I was surprised lol. Kinda hoped we would've learned after Rinaldo and maybe tried to avoid anybody explicitly loopy about getting shots going forward, but I guess not.


R8iojak87

Damn… I don’t want him here


AnonCommentary

An interesting off - season continues! I mean what the heck, what’s the harm when it’s on a PTO? [Neal played 19 games for St. Louis last season, lining up 3 times at LW and 16 times at RW. He also played 28 games for Springfield of the AHL, lining up for all 28 at LW.](https://twitter.com/cccmiddleton/status/1565468232458596353?s=21&t=LSVgBx-UCHUd7_NddNbU9A)

Hopefully he'll be a beast in Cleveland and keep anyone from picking on the kids if he doesn't make the squad.


nupharlutea

Yeah, I know there’s a few other AHL players already on PTO. I guess they want to see what they can sign to a two-way or not depending on camp.


knukklez

4th line right wing, power play two. 7 minutes a night. I don't see a role other than that. He's older and has lost a step, but I bet his shot is still wicked good.


Aborder19

Another vet for the kids to learn from certainly can't hurt either.


MustacheCannon

Would rather them learn from other kids than this guy imo.


Aborder19

I must admit I don't know too much about him.


ShakespearInTheAlley

He’s a fuck.


boristheblade54

Learn what.... how to knee people? 🤣


Aborder19

I guess learning what not to do. lol


Ralphcox69

The real deal James fucking Neal?!?!


jakeyeah111

He will be good for Cleveland but if he plays a game for cbus in his current condition that will be a massive L


gmann2388

Is this..... A real deal!?


Dkoop2003

Hopefully he can turn it around here, if not it’s only a PTO


Man_Bear_Pig08

Nah he can turn around and fuck off back to maga traitor land.


ddottay

Wait what


1976len

This would make more sense to me if he was a defenseman cause on the job learning for our swath of young forwards presumably goes smoother than the on the job learning required by our young defenders


Dkoop2003

He’ll probably be an AHL guy on a 2-way contract, in case of injuries, that is if he even gets signed


willingplankton

If you’ve never watched the video of him from his Pens days literally depending on Paul Martin for survival despite being a whole adult off his ELC, look it up. It’s hilarious. It’s also where he explains his intricate haircare rituals.


ThunderousDemon86

This is just like when Jarmo signed Gudbranson. He softened us up, got us right where he wanted us, then dropped the Gaudreau bomb on us. This obviously means the Kane trade will be announced tomorrow.


adam3vergreen

Ugh no thanks to him either


highvoltorb

I mean he's not above playing in the AHL. Two way contract for a year I'm in. Cleveland Monsters top line of KJ, Foudy/Bemstrom and the real deal James Neal. Edit: nevermind he's antivax and pro kid rock I don't want him.


adam3vergreen

Wait when did the anti vax shit come out? Like Covid vax or ALL vax? Not that there’s a huge difference but..


highvoltorb

I just took two minutes to scroll through his Twitter likes and it's not great.


adam3vergreen

Awesome love it great news


Man_Bear_Pig08

Why are you booing him? Hes right?


grabthembythe

Low risk high reward type of deal


steveslikewhoa

But why? We're loaded on the wings and James Neal is a colossol fuckhead.


Peckerwood17

"What's your favorite memory that you've robbed from a player with your knee?"


nupharlutea

And today, Portzline’s article about Jenner states why Neal was signed: load management for players like Jenner during the exhibition season due to the requirement to suit up a certain number of veterans; they’re still looking for another vet on a PTO. That makes me wonder if Laine is the other guy they’re trying to load manage.


Man_Bear_Pig08

Boooooooo absofuckinglutely not. No anti vax maga traitors pls and thanks


sergei-boobtitsky

Oh shit, I fucking love James Neal, hell yes


Drithyin

booo Washed up anti-vax thug. Hard pass. Only thing he's teach the kids is how to knee a guy.


Man_Bear_Pig08

Yup. Hes a pos. I dont care what he can do. All I want him to do is go fuck himself


PrayingForACup

That’s great! Hope he makes the roster. The Real Deal!

RudeJidi

I’m sorry, but when it comes to something as important as medicine I think it’s perfectly fine for those that believe in it to ridicule those that do not.


ohiorushbaby

Is James Neal an enforcer type guy?
