Tree and Looch made the best of their bad situations (signing James Neal, signing in Edmonton), but Lucic at his salary was never going to be a good value proposition. I'm disappointed to see the intangibles of his game result in what it has (nothing), but the trade was still brilliant just to get rid of Neal...but yeah, this team and this player should be moving on from each other as soon as possible.

I am just glad that the whole situation didn't result in a buyout. The only thing worse than having to take on either cap hit, would be to extend it past this season. Dead cap really sucks.
