From the Flames perspective:
-Maybe save a little $$
-Conditional draft pick
-An overpaid player better suited to a role in the bottom six than the other overpaid player
-Neal didn't want to be here (allegedly), Lucic waived to come to Calgary (as reported)
-Gain size and grit (organizational weakness)
Oilers probably see a better fit for Neal in their top 6: a winger that can score (organizational weakness). But screw those greasy bastards.
