The optics are certainly not great but if Neal was doing nothing for us, and Lucic is doing nothing for us then we're up because we've saved salary to get tkachuk signed.
The oilers shouldn't really be comparing Neal to Lucic but to chiasson, who was in the same spot last year (I vaguely remember 6 goals in 8 games or something).
And as we always say, (blank) won't save the oilers, nothing can.
