For those who dislike the Neal for Lucic trade, does your opinion change if you view it this way: Lucic replaces Garnet Hathaway, Dillon Dube replaces Neal. Because deployment-wise, I’d suggest that’s one possibility for how things could unfold.

I'd like to see:


Gaudreau-Lindholm-Tkachuk
Mangiapane-Monahan-RW (Would love to see Tyler Johnson here)
Dube-Backlund-Bennett
Lucic-Ryan-Czarnik
Jankowski

I'm more excited about Mangiapane and Dube, I feel like putting these two in bigger roles will be the real upgrades we get up front. Lucic isn't replacing Neal, but the way he'll be slotted will allow our other young players to take Neal's minutes.
I don’t see Hathaway and Lucic as similar players. So this is a downgrade in my opinion.

Hathaway is high energy, I don’t see Lucic bringing that
