Actively improving the chief team rival.

That is a mistake, filed under a different heading than the Neal mistake.
Your position assumes that Lucic is a worse asset.
I don't believe that to be true
Both players are awful NHLers. Hot start aside, Neal is back to being the same player he was here.
I disagree with many of your stated assumptions.
