If you want to worry/ gloat that Edmonton is worse off than the Flames it is a very low bar. If somehow the Oilers become competition that the Flames have to focus on chances are this trade will be as lopsided as Lindholm/Hanifin for Hamilton and a year of Ferland.
In what universe is Lucic a 3M player? What team would you imagine taking him on as a 3M player without dumping a $3M failure of their on on the Flames?
Having 3M on your 4th line / press box is a recipe for disaster? Are you planning on Lucic being more on the Flames than that?

Reeves is making 2.75M in Vegas, so if you think Lucic is a good "tough guy" 3M isn't really all that out of line.
