Hoping we see a motivated Lucic who can looks like he cares about his play. That's all I can ask for at this point.
I was sick of yelling at my TV with some Smith blunders, and Neal misses/not looking engaged in the play. (However, Smith did redeem himself quite a bit in the playoffs for me)
If I end up yelling at the TV for Lucic, we will have lost this trade enormously. If I can actually cheer for Lucic than I think we did "okay". It would take quite a bit for me (Neal's decline continues, Lucic becomes serviceable 3rd line player) to consider this trade anywhere near a win for the Flames.
