For the Flames I am not convinced it is a worse move on the ice. Neal was not a fit here. He wasn’t fitting in the top 6 and is useless in the bottom 6. At least Lucic can be a bottom 6 guy that hits people. For the Flames current roster there wasn’t really a spot for Neal and now Lucic eats up an expensive spot that used to be filled by Hathaway.
