Total Cap Hit over 6 years to Calgary = $14.44
Neal ($1.92, $1.92, $1.92, $1.92, $1.92, $1.92)
Lucic ($0.69, $0.50, $0.69, $0.06, $0.06, $0.06)

Right...but look at the first 3 years.
One guy costs you 7.6 in cap space.
The other? 13.1 million.
That is literally 2 really good players at 6.5 each. Thats a team crippling kind of number.
You can spin this however you like, and it appears many are trying to do just that. I dont blame them and also HOPE things dont go as they clearly look like they will. But in the back and white world and without any sample size of each guy on each team...this has all the making of a complete debacle.
