Flames trade Neal for Lucic (Oilers retain 12.5%) and conditional 2020 3rd
I was never a fan of this trade but Neal was useless here, beyond useless really. Ideally we have neither player and you can go back to Brouwer not working out to find out why we are here. I don’t think Lucic has really been all that bad especially compared to how Neal played last year. He had numerous good shifts last night and his lines generated chances and turnovers. He is far from what ails the Flames right now.
Neal scoring 7 and the oilers being 5-0 suck but I will wait until the season is over to see how this turned out.
