Now we have an immovable, buyout proof contact with ZERO guarantees that he will waive for expansion, so this trade could very well cost the flames an asset.
Neal was negative value, Lucic was even lower value than Neal. Oh and we just ate a bullet for the Oilers too, while getting NOTHING for taking that bullet.
Horrible trade.
