Buying out Neal after a 2019-20 show me season, where he fails, leave the Flames with a 2 year slightly under 2M cap hit for 6 years.
Lucic is 4.8, 3.5, 4.8 for the next 3 yrs if he is bought out next summer.

If buying out Neal's contract was a possibility that is certainly a reason to tip the scales towards dislike for sure.
I don't think that was a possibility though, making the comparison much less of a factor.
