I'm okay with this. Both players are 3rd/4th line plugs good for 5-10 goals at this point. Salaries are a wash. Flames fans are just pissed because we told ourselves that Neal was going to come back rejuvenated next season and bounce back. The Flames braintrust thinks otherwise.
Lucic will at least stick up for teammates and give the roster a feared presence. Pretty clear the coaches did not like how Neal handled his reduction in ice time last year - the guy has a big ego and was not going to be a good fit in the bottom 6.
The signing of Neal was clearly a big miss for Treliving. But at least he recognized that and has moved on to salvage something out of the situation.
