2.6 million this season and next, then 1.9 for Neal only for two seasons after.

I only voted for 2nd dumbest option, got too caught up with Lucic bashing when he played for the oilers.

I'm kind of impressed Neal is playing in the AHL rather than just hanging up the skates and calling it a career. He must be hoping to get a chance in the playoffs or simply loves to play.

The money Lucic makes sucks and will be difficult for the team to manage but you cannot argue the impact he has had on this team. He has been a great Calgary Flame and I love having him on the ice. He did have a stretch around the trade deadline that his play fell off but I think that was more of an adjustment to linemates and changes to his game. He may not always be pretty out there but he and that 4th line are doing more good than bad and are positive influences on the games.

In short he's a mother####ing beauty out there.

Lucic is the lowest scoring player in the league worth 5.25M, but he’s worth the money!

The ability to simply naturalize a player like kassian is insurable.

Lucic's role on the team and on the ice can't be overstated. He casts a very large shadow that opposing players don't want to be in. I'm not sure there's another player in the league who commands the type of respect he does and could fill his role. I think he's worth every penny he's being paid.
I loved this trade then, I love it now.

His hit on McDingus alone was worth it.

Not sure if this already been said… but one of the greatest byproducts of his role on the team is that Gaudreau is not getting absolutely pummeled right now… the combo of Tkachuk being on his line and the scariness of Lucic hopping over the boards the very next shift would be terrifying…

Also, I noticed yesterday at the game Lucic’s line was actually matched up for DEFENSIVE ZONE draws against the mcdavid line… eating up those McDavid minutes are huge

In series past, Gaudreau would always get #### on cause people could take liberties on him and not pay the price
