Both sides have to be considered (the in and the out), and the question is: is the team better or worse as a result?

Well two days ago some Flames fans said Neal was a perennial 25+ goal scorer, who had an off year due to multiple Stanley Cup runs, wrong sticks, poor linemates, historically unlucky shooting percentage and was training like a fiend in the off season to return to form.
So if that was your belief, then the out looks like more than the in.
I guess we’ll see. Not many questions around Lucic. His excuses have run out and we know what he is IMO. Like I said, this trade is just admitting defeat on the Neal signing a year into it. Time to move on.
