In three games he's directly responsible for 4 points in the standings. It's not a stretch to think his addition could be good for 15+ additional points in the standings if he scores close to 30 goals. There is little doubt the Oilers are clearly better with Neal than Lucic. It's a hard pill for me to swallow personally as it's also made the Flames look foolish around the league for bailing out a rival team. I'm tired of this organization making mistakes like this as it's always one step forward, one step back with this team.
