I voted for "indifferent", but I have a slight slant towards "dislike".

It's a bad player for another bad player. Flames save a tiny bit of cap space. Okay.

But I can't get over the fact that Neal had way more shots and a lower shooting % than Lucic. Based on that, it seems like Neal is more likely to rebound, especially with a good playmaker.

I think Ken Holland knows this, which is why he made the trade. I think Edmonton wanted this trade more than Calgary did. And based on that, I think the conditional pick should have been much better. It should have been a no-condition 2nd round pick at least IMO.
