HockeyHarry Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 But in this thread it’s about fighting Lucic and my point is why. Just skate around him. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yep it was why they were bounced so fast. 1 minute ago, Elias Pettersson said: Lucic can't play on a top line anymore. Ferland can. And so can Neal. But Neal wasn't playing that way, He had 3 goals heading into the Christmas break, and that was with good opportunity. Flames don't really need another player on their top line. Or even in the top 6 for that matter. They needed a bottom 6 brute who can intimidate and provide a physical presence in the game. Bennett wasn't enough. While Lucic lucic at 5.25 is about a $3 million over payment for that role he does fill a need. I called this as a high potential trade 4 months ago since if fits both teams needs and provides two struggling players with a new opportunity.. Considering both contracts are anchors, it's about as win win as it can get for those situations and the fact that flames save cap in the process (which they need) it's a good move.

If they can ever get Pool Party to play up to his potential they could be on to something. Not such a great deal having 2 out of 5 of your top 6 being 'ifs' though. Not being cheeky, ('cause I really don' know) who is the 6th guy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

86Viking Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Decent move by Edm, Neal should be able to pot 20g you'd think with PP time and the opportunity to play in the top 6. Would have been nice if Calgary had some interest in LE, Neal might have been a good fit here...before we traded for Miller and signed Ferland of course! Eriksson to NYR for Shattenkirk, use him as a PP specialist...could retain salary on him and get a better return vs retaining on Eriksson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikeBossy Posted July 20, 2019 Share Posted July 20, 2019 Soooo Edmonton moves Lucic and retains salary to get Neal? So they got rid of a non producing player at 6 mil a season for another non-producing player at with a $500,000 additional cap hit? You have to think McDavid is going WTF???

I don't see Neal allowing LD to form his own line away from McD yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They only save $650,000 I know nothing about the Rags, but they just paid big for Trouba, I thought Shattenkirk was not used much and they wanted to get rid of him? Maybe we trade them tanev instead and get a sweetener for taking on that 2m extra in the contract, or NYR retain a portion? We can move Schaller and or someone else to clear some cap space Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Especially no to moving Tanev for this pylon. Shattenkirk is worse than useless, he's an absolute tire fire in his own end. Hopefully we have learned from Pouliot, Larsen, and Weber, and will be requiring all defensemen to be able to play like NHLers in their own end. Shattenkirk isn't just a bad contract, he's a bad player. Edited July 20, 2019 by King Heffy 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
