Is anyone really suggesting that Neal's goal scoring and the Oilers wins will continua at this pace? I have yet to see even the most ardent Oiler fan claim this.
The wins are fact. The goals are fact. It's unlikely Lucic reaches 8 goals this year but we'll see.
Still, Lucic for the James Neal of last year is a good trade for the Flames. But I guess for me, until I know why the Flames felt that there was no way Neal could rebound and return to the club this year I will never really be able to assess this trade. There are a lot of assumptions and innuendo being floated so maybe some people know more than I do.
