Loved the rumours, loved it when the trade went down, loved the old poll, still love the new poll.
We traded away an absolutely useless player who brings down everyone he plays with statistically (huge negative!) and who would most likely become a negative distraction for a player who fills a need on the team and who produced at the same rate. That's a win.
Besides, I would much rather the Flames retain 50% of what's left on his contract if you need to get rid of him than buy-out Neal. That term would be much shorter, and Lucic would obviously wave if he is not playing and contributing.
