It’s just as much about ditching Neal as it is about getting Lucic. I don’t think Lucic would make a huge difference but it’d be hard to Dube or Mangiapane to bring less than Neal did, because Neal brought absolutely nothing.
The term addition by subtraction is overused on this forum but I think it applies here. Pretty much anyone else we have could do more with Neal’s ice time than Neal did. Neal was literally dragging lines down with his unengaged, slow, soft play.
Good riddance!
