Tossing Lucic, one of the worst skaters in the league, who also has very limited skills into the mix is just dumb. This team was already slow (see Avalanche series) and is somehow found a way to get even slower.

Neal was already slow. We signed him to be a top 6 player. He isn't. Clearly management views Neal as a long goner in terms of ever being a top 6 player again. I am assuming this is why we got Lucic who would be better suited for a 4th line role.
