People need to be prepared for this to be a good trade for both teams, and accept that Neal bouncing back in Edmonton won't affect the trade from the Flames perspective, as he wasn't going to improve in Calgary playing on the 3rd line with a ****ty attitude.
Lucic should make the Flames bottom 6 marginally better that Neal, adding an extra dimension to the Flames (in doing so, saving Hamonic from having to drop the gloves or the team playing a guy like Peluso), and is slightly cheaper. So that's a technical win regardless of whether Neal scores 20 or 30 goals.
