I am also willing to bet that Lucic helps this team significantly in terms of grit and style of play. As long as we limit his minutes to a bottom 6 player there shouldn't be a problem with this.
EDIT: Neal was just not a good fit on this team.

Lucic is going to be better? The Flames bottom 6 is/was moving to young, skilled players that can skate. At least Neal can still shoot the puck and would be hard pressed not to see a slight uptick in production after a bad year.
Tossing Lucic, one of the worst skaters in the league, who also has very limited skills into the mix is just dumb. This team was already slow (see Avalanche series) and is somehow found a way to get even slower.
