I thought he had a few big hits, plus he managed the puck very well, got an assist on the opening goal, and had a couple really good looks that weren't converted. He really only let up on a hit on McDavid, which was probably smart, because McDavid gave up the puck anyway and Lucic didn't get a penalty.
I think Treliving made that trade because he's a much better contributor than Neal and plays a heavy game, not so much for fighting.
