Buyout to Neal would cost Edmonton 1.916667 plus the 750k they are paying Lucic = 2.666667.
So buying out Neal would be more expensive than trading Lucic @ a 50 percent cap hit. Or am I wrong?

And the buyout would be spread out for longer years while Lucic's contract will be over in 3 years if it is only retained.
