Asserted without evidence. Lucic is making more money, signed for a longer term, playing worse, scoring less, and he has done all that while spending significant time on the top two lines. Neal's biggest problem is that Lindholm and Bennett pushed him out of the top six and he has been trying to manufacture goals off the playmaking of Derek Ryan, who has been having his own issues this year.

No team should have a 5.75 million player playing on the third line and not scoring, unless they have added said player at the deadline and are only paying a portion of his salary as a rental.
Right, because no team ever had a $5.75 million player who went through a slump.

Almost every Stanley cup winner has added players at the deadline, now your just be silly
How many times has a player added at the deadline been a difference-maker in the playoffs? Go ahead, if they're so common you should be able to name dozens of them.
