Agreed, I think we had better options than trade Neal for Lucic. Waving Neal for his lack of effort would have been a better option than taking on another bad contract. This almost looks like a trade for the sake of making a trade. BT maybe tried too hard to make everyone happy including Neal at the expense of making Edmonton better. If Neal's nose was out of joint while he was with the Flames I wouldn't be surprised if he rebounds.
