So I guess we want all the same type of players... everyone with speed and no one without it will do.
You know... Lucic has awesome.... no... AWESOME possession numbers, and if he can dig a puck out of the corner and get it to one of the our fast forwards... this could be huge. And how many times do all three forwards break out towards the offense zone where we need everyone up with the puck, usually a trailing player is a great asset here to punch in some junk goals on a broken play.
But all that is wishful thinking... the real thinking here.... NEAL did NOTHING for us last season and if all that Lucic does is offer us some more toughness, something that we clearly lacked as our one playoff round made it clear... than this trade puts us into a better position then before the trade - and NEAL's contract was a sunk cost... we can't just erase it (I wish we could) - but we got something at least we need and lacked.
