Despite time and some good perspectives I still think the Lucic deal is no good.
The flames went into the summer with a hole at top 6 wing again, a cap problem, and a boat anchor of a contract related to both. Doubling down on the bad contract means the flames are still going to have a hole at top 6 wing, and will still have to lose other assets for cap relief.
Obviously the flames didn’t see Neal as a fit at all, a year after his contract. That’s a little scary but stuff happens. I think this means they see Lucic as a sometimes top 6. That’s terrifying.
