Bring Back The Bruise Bros 1,029 Report post Posted July 10, 2012 3-year, $5.75 mil extension. Don't see many players stick with one organization their whole career, but it looks like Neil may be one of them. Great deal for Ottawa. A great team guy and a fan favorite. 1 MabusIncarnate reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

thegerkin 189 Report post Posted July 11, 2012 Bummer. Good for Chris though. He's been my absolute favorite non-Wing since he played in the playoffs with the Muskegon Fury in 1998-99 and his years with the Griffins when they were Ottawa's farm team. 1 MabusIncarnate reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He's been among my favorite players since he broke into the league. Guy is a true warrior. 1 MabusIncarnate reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MabusIncarnate 5,344 Report post Posted July 11, 2012 Agreed with the comments, Neil is one of my favorite non-wings as well, and i've posted many times that i'd love to see him here someday. Ottawa is smart for locking him up, he is an asset to their developing system. Him and Clutterbuck have been helping me own the hits category in my fantasy league for the past few years also, had to toss that in there. Today's fun fact: he has never been suspended. This I did not know. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iOnXZpPwkoU I will always remember this hit, one of the hardest i've ever seen. 1 thegerkin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
