That pick better be a 1st round pick.

If you squint really really hard you could make a hockey case (which I disagree with).
But it makes no sense financially especially on a 1-1 basis. Nothing we've seen about Treliving supports that, though there's obviously a first time for everything.

Is this Treliving's version of D.Sutter's December of insanity? Absolutely gross.

Wasn't there rumors of Neal and Peters not getting along? Wonder if this forced Calgary's hand.

Surely their must have been better options than this though. YUCK.

Ugh. I'm guessing because its the only team dumb enough to take Neal and we need the cap space. Likely for Chucky.

If there is no agreement in place to waive his NMC for expansion I think I'm going to be sick.

If they retain 50% making Lucic a $3M player, plus he waives his NMC going forward, plus the pick is a 1st. Then maybe. But still....

Will have to wait on details but sounds like Lucic is waiving his NMC completely.

In other words it is no longer in effect.
