Neal at his worst is just plain better then Lucic. His contract is better, he is still useful. I actually would be ok with him getting another run at things. Lucic is just going to keep getting slower, and for his vaunted toughness, there were occassions where he walked away from battles. He's the ultimate, collect his money without getting hurt guy.
Bennett is far better then Poolparty. At least Bennett at his worst brings something to the table in other aspects of his game. Poolparty doesn't bring much to the table. He's been bad in the AHL and the NHL, he's just not suited to the NHL.
If Edmonton wants to do Neal and Bennett for Lucic and Poolparty, I would want a massive over payment ad on, like their first round pick not lottery protected. If they can't except that they they can flake off.
