Yes, it wasn't maybe totally clear during the year (to some, personally I was happy just to see Neal gone and hopeful that Lucic could find some of his old self here) but at this point, it has to be - cap space, Lucic is adding value every night in multiple ways (tonight, face-off specialist!), and a pick? Sold.
