I think there needs to be some more faith in Treliving.

That said, I wouldn’t want a Neal for Lucic swap. A recent article on The Athletic ranked Lucic’s contract as the 6th worst in the NHL, while Neal’s contract only got an HM and didn’t make the list of top 10 worst contracts. Mike Commodore was on the Fan 960 talking about how Neal is working out a lot this off season to be in better shape next year. He says Neal will be better this coming season. Neal also had a really low SH% last year and more than double the shots compared to Lucic as many ppl and the poster above have pointed out. Anecdotally, I feel Neal was dangerous quite a number of times last season and failed to score. That’s why, while I would dump Neal’s contract in a heartbeat, I would not want a Neal for Lucic swap.
