At least that's how I'm looking at it. How bad must it have been, or how compelling the reasons, to take on Lucic?  |
It was this bad. You have 4 years left of a guy who doesn’t fit well with the team. Could not accept a demotion from top 6, and would not accept the role the coach gave him.
The bottom line is that Neal has to go. Bring on Looch!
I am a believer that you need grit in a lineup. No sense in having the second toughest guy on the ice. Get the toughest (I know there are one or 2 tougher in the league).
