As risky as Neal is, Lucic is 10 times riskier.

Neal might bounce Bach. Lucic has no chance, his physical skills have long since abandoned hm.

No surprise if Panarin signs with NYI. If I remember correctly there were discussions as long ago as last 1st July that he would go to NY because his girlfriend is a model, and she would get more exposure in NY than in Florida. He is going to make a shed load of cash either way, so why not go where it helps them both.

Man the senators are a weird, weird organization.

Can’t Lucic waive his NMC for the expansion draft? Why wouldn’t he? He wouldn’t be selected any way so unless it’s not something he can waive, I don’t get why this is always mentioned as such a big deal.

Even if he can waive it, it doesn't mean he would, so the big deal is the team has to use one of their protection "slots" on him instead of someone else. But, as was mentioned above, this probably is only the Oilers problem, as him being traded means he'd have already waived his NMC.

Regardless, I'd much, much, much have another year of Neal maybe bouncing back than Lucic. Would have to be a hell of a sweetener.

Aaron Portzline @Aportzline
Hearing UFA F Anders Lee could top $9 million AAV when he signs today. Do not expect the #CBJ to part of the bidding at that level.

Does anyone else feel like the flames are waiting for something? Strangely quiet.

Gonna be interesting to see where Ferland goes. If his concussion issues are no longer a problem(probably are ) I’d love to see him back but doubt he’s coming. Flames can’t afford him.

A few Flames media members suggesting that won't be the case. Hope they're wrong. Kind of.

iloveicedhockey · 07-01-2019, 07:57 AM

That can't be right, can it? He's a 50 to 55 point player....

Ryan Rishaug @TSNRyanRishaug
Would make sense for the Oilers to be in hard on Gustav Nyquist. Need to add a winger who can play In their top 6. Initially thought too expensive, Sekera buyout gives them space to pursue. Likely multiple teams pursuing him.

The Flames have no cap space to do anything major.

Hoping for a Brodie trade, gonna be very bleak if they run the same team back again minus a couple guys.

Treliving at his ninja best for the huge splashes in the pools he's about to make, while making sure all the agents he deals with signs NDA's so the press doesn't get a hold? Or are we Talbot and done?

Neal for Russell and Kassian

No way I would touch the Lucic deal.

Then Brodie/Hamonic for Kadri

Having Tkachuk, Kadri, Bennett, Kassian would make this team despised by opposing fans
