I have mentioned it before, but I think the reason it got done is because this was probably the only scenario in which Flames could move Neal without adding assets, in fact actually got in the deal (cap space and potential 3rd). If the Eriksson Lucic thing went through, there aren't any chairs left where you can move Neal without giving something significant.
