I didn't like the trade in the summer and still don't like it now. Not sure if I ever will. I remember laughing at the Oilers how they had a terrible player on an untradeable contract. Now the league is laughing at us.
Neal came off 2 long playoff runs and with a long summer is returning to his old form. Lucic on other hand is too slow. He adds some toughness but we can get that near league minimum while having Neal return to his usual 20+ goal season.
