I don't know what happens in the locker room.
We can only speculate as to the personality dynamics on the team.
If it is true what a poster mentioned that Neal and Peters weren't on the same page, then maybe it is best to trade him. That kind of thing can affect an entire team.
At his salary and stats from last year, there were not going to be a lot of options for return.
There is a cost saving to this deal as well which is definitely appealing.
Also, I have seen a few players do well after leaving Edmonton. Johnson to Pittsburgh comes to mind a few years back.
We also just saw two win the cup with St. Louis that Edmonton couldn't wait to get rid of. So, here's hoping Lucic will have better success here.
