I don't have a problem with Lucic after having watched him play a few games, apart from his being way overpaid for what he brings. I still don't like the trade though because of who the partner was and that the player we sent them is a good fit for their needs. As is, Neal is a good goal scoring fit for a team that is in direct competition with the Flames. The Oilers are two points ahead of the Flames, they are +6 as a team and Neal has 12 goals. The Flames are definitely a better team, and should still be ahead in the long run, but Neal has been a good boost to them and made them better than they were.
