The Columbus Blue Jackets have released veteran forward James Neal from his professional tryout.
Fantasy Impact
Once a fantasy stud, Neal has struggled to keep his footing at the NHL level of late. The former 40-goal winger split last season between the St. Louis Blues and their AHL affiliate Springfield Thunderbirds, tallying just two goals and four points across 19 NHL contests. He could earn further NHL interest based on a productive 14 goals and 26 points across 28 games at the AHL level last season.
