Flames Ongoing thread for Neal/Lucic discussion

News Update

The Calgary Flames announced today that they have acquired forward Milan Lucic from the Edmonton Oilers along with a conditional third round pick in the 2020 NHL Draft in exchange for forward James Neal. Edmonton will also retain a portion (12.5%) of Lucic's remaining contract.



Bob Stauffer @Bob_Stauffer
All signs pointing to a Neal-Lucic deal coming to fruition.
Potential fresh start for both players

Jason Gregor
@JasonGregor
Just got a text today, Lucic would waive NMC to go to Calgary, if indeed a trade can be made. Interesting how things evolve. If, and I'm not say it will, but if a deal occurs, it would add some spice to the #BOA.

Nick Kypreos @RealKyper
Milan Lucic days as a @EdmontonOilers are over. With Lucic waving his no move clause it opens up the trade to @NHLFlames. At this point sounding like a 1 for 1 trade for James Neal. @NHL

Eric Francis @EricFrancis
Can confirm deal to send James Neal to Edm for Milan Lucic isn’t done yet, but is close. Oilers would include a conditional draft pick and retain some of Lucic’s salary when its completed

Elliotte Friedman @FriedgeHNIC
Just following up on @GenePrincipe and @RealKyper — only Lucic/Neal involved with EDM retaining some money and including a conditional draft pick.

Bobby Margarita @TSNBobMcKenzie
I do feel obliged to say this: the Lucic-Neal CGY-EDM trade is one for one. ��

Would have rather kept Neal. So gross.

Neal for Lucic + Puljujarvi?

Hopefully Bennet isn't on the way out too, would hate to see him go to the Oilers..

If this is true, then Brad Treliving has taken complete leave of his senses.

Will wait for details but this is bad if its a straight up one for one trade.

This simply does not make sense. Neal has the better chance of bouncing back, has a lower cap hit, and can be bought out.

what the ####
