A world where Neal remains a 25 point a year guy over 82 games and Lucic is a 20 point guy the Flames win the deal because of Lucic’s intangibles. 20 points seems like more of a ceiling for Lucic to me, whereas 25 points seems like more of a floor for Neal. Hopefully Neal continues his play from last season.
