I don't know what kind of spin people are trying to pull around here but there should be some kind of intellectual honesty about who this guy is and why he was thought to be pretty much unmovable just a few days ago.
And yes Neal sucked hard last year but Lucic is no better.

It was a worse contract at 6M/year than it is at 5.25M/year. Still bad, but better than the Oilers are getting for 6.5M/year with Neal. And probably Lucic+500K/year cap space>Neal+bad attitude (based on his public criticism of teammates and coaches)+player that slots nowhere in the lineup.
