This thread would be more relevant to the flames winning the conference/division again if it was regarding Backlund, Bennett.
Lucic's impact on the team won't be quantified by the number of points he gets.
When are folks on here going to comprehend that.
If that's what people want to use to judge the player and the trade, them i just can't help but think they are more pessimistic about things than i am (a self proclaimed pessimist).

I have a different view. I don’t care what Neal does, but Lucic has a guaranteed roster spot and top 6 salary for the next 4 years or so. If that only buys the Flames a few timely punches that’s a big disadvantage for the team.
It’s early. We’ll see if he gets on even a brief roll. And if the flames win a few playoff rounds thanks to the emotional charge good on them. I’ll cheer.
Right now if I had to bet I’d take the under on whatever his goal line is. Even if it’s 1.
