Lucic had passable advanced stats on one of the worst teams if not the worst.
I don't think he'll be a detriment here in a 3rd line role. Whereas I think Neal was.
Won't be worth 5+ million, but will add rather than detract from what the team is trying to accomplish on the ice.
I hate that people are crapping on Treliving's reputation because of this move. It hasn't even played out yet. I think it's incredibly short sighted and premature. The Carolina trade easily overshadows anything Neal related, as that took the team to another level. This trade at worst won't even take them a step back. So I think some here need to stfu and gain some perspective.
