The conditional 3rd is a freaking joke. I think the flames getting bent over in the playoffs broke Treliving like the constant underperforming Iginla flames broke Sutter.

Did you just compare James Neal to those players?

Lucic aside, Neal with his salary had negative trade value. We didn't give up an asset today, completely unlike all of the trades you've mentioned.
