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?

Comparing a Calgary buyout to an Edmonton buyout is not the correct comparison. The correct comparison is Calgary pre-trade liability to Calgary post trade liability.
