I don't like the trade either. I just don't see the point of acquiring Lucic - there wasn't enough in it for the Flames (maybe, if we actually got a 3rd out of it).

But as far as the 'worst contract in the league' goes, we have Lucic at $5.25M, and they have Neal at $6.5M. So I think that is probably a wash.

Also, Lucic actually fills a roster spot (that was vacated by Hathaway), whereas Neal was a square peg.
