Treliving on the hot seat? Worst trade in history? Holy crap! I totally understand not liking Lucic, I don't either, but the levels some people have taken this is insane, and frankly more entertaining than the trade itself.
It doesn't make the team better or worse on the ice

From a player for player perspective I completely agree. Garbage for garbage. However we are saving 500k in cap space so that has to be worth something. This trade doesn’t move the needle much either way.
What I do really like, is that Lucic seems to have accepted he is a bottom 6 and embraces it and wants to do better but understands where he is at. He’s got the right attitude. Neal on the other hand is likely going into next season thinking he is a top 6 that wasn’t given a chance. So if he can’t stick in the top 6 they have a completely disgruntled player.
