I've come around on the trade quite a bit, I was pretty annoyed when it happened, however what good did Neal ever bring to the team? I think it's basically a lateral move, though I'm hoping Lucic being a nasty SOB makes him more valuable than Neal in at least that area. I'm also trusting Treliving has something figured out / agreed on for the expansion draft, which case I'm alright with this. I don't envision a Neal bounce-back with the Coilers.
