Lucic started out the season slow but has quickly rounded into form recently. Contracts aside, there is no comparison as to who brings more to their respective team when comparing both players. Especially from the Flames' perspective.
Heck Lucic's "shift" last game had more determination and effort than any game Neal ever had here. Not even joking when I say that; that single shift alone was better than any game Neal ever had here.
Very happy with the big man's play recently.
