It is not a discussion about Neal vs Lucic.

It’s about what Treliving could have gotten INSTEAD. Neal was never going to work here, I’ll agree to that, but he traded him for the universally agreed WORST contract in the NHL.

The first mistake was to sign Neal, but who knew? He was EXACTLY what we needed, all pundits and experts agreed. The Lucic contract was a laughing stock from day one.

So, why not eat a million or two on Neal’s contract and trade him for something remotely looking resembling value. He got fleeeeeeeeced by Edmonton. He is supposedly very active, but I doubt he did his due diligence here. He wanted Lucic, and when Tre wants - he gets.

#### trade is still #### and is even ####tier now. This is a top three worst trade in Flames’ history.
