Shift-4 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 1 hour ago, Jimmy McGill said: Edmonton is gaining by far. Neal's buyout if it comes to that is pretty good, drops to only 1.9 mil in salary (https://www.capfriendly.com/buyout-calculator/james-neal#results). And no clauses to boot. Man Calgary management must really dislike Neal. That's just one element. So many variables to guys that are overpaid, that can contribute in different ways, etc. Last year I think Lucic was more effective in his role than Neal was in his own role. Basically they are trading different types of cluster&^@#s. Hence my original comment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Edmonton wins in this trade for me. Edmonton gets rid of Lucic and clears 250k of cap space. Clear win for them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ilduce39 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 There’s no room on our roster for Lucic, Neal or Loui. I’d rather have Motte in, Gaudette on call up and Roussel come in off the IR mid season. At at this point, seems like we can live with Loui’s 6 on the books. Bury him, loan him or keep him in the press box and try to sell the contract in his last year when we need the room for Petey and Quinn. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vinny in Vancouver Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Interesting take from an Oilers blogger (although I bet he was actually drinking champagne as he was writing this): Oilers blogger Alan Hull @alanhullFrom CGY’s perspective…if they get salary retention from EDM and a pick, they’ve got the cap space and depth to eat Lucic’s deal for 1 yr. In 12 months his contract will appeal to a team like OTT b/c of the cap hit being far more than the $. They’re probably all free in a yr. If Neal bombs in EDM they likely buy him out and are paying him for 6 years. Could totally work out to CGY’s advantage if they play it right. And: Oilers fans should be hoping for a second coming of McDavid and Neal from the 2018 all-star game. They were fun to watch together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hlinkas wrister Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I feel like flame fans would have loved to have had Lucic in the playoffs last year. Too bad they are about to find out that he's a luxury that few can afford in the regular season. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

coastal.view Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 48 minutes ago, Alflives said: Depends. Lucic’s Agent might write an addendum to the contract allowing this one trade, but the full NMC carries on. The Flames would have to sign it, or there would be no trade. Likely Looch wants out of Edmonton so much, he will waive his clauses, and walk to Calgary. at least the hitman are in the same city he can play with the ahlers and socialize with the nhlers 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post highwayman3 Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2019 Vancouver is the big winner in this trade. We dodge a massive bullet in trading for Lucic, and we send Loui to the AHL. #Loutica 2 1 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would actually do that deal. Get rid of the 6m cap hit the next 3 years. Take on a 3m cap hit for 4 years for Lucic who could play a 3rd line role - 3m for a 3rd liner is fine.
