Neal is $2M straight through.
Totals are close to the same with Edmonton taking a hit for part of Lucic's buyout though.

Of course the totals are close, the money owed is close. Lucic's contract is buyout "proof" however because buying him out offers virtually no relief, which is why you buyout a contract in the first place. You buy out Lucic you're still left with a similar cap hit immediately and you have to replace him on the roster after.
Like I posted above, yes the low hit in years 4-6 are fine but that's not going to matter much since years 1-3 offer nothing in help.
