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.

If Neal scores 80 goals in 4 years in Edmonton I think it's fair to say Calgary got fleeced even though keeping Neal may not have been an option.
But parts of one October with a 34% shooting percentage certainly isn't enough for me to assume the guy I saw lost last year has found it again.
