Slow useless pylon that has another year more than the slow useless pylon we're trying to get rid of? He is not “slow”. You can’t deliver 300 hits by being slow. Lucic is far more useful than LE. 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post Alflives Posted July 19, 2019 Popular Post Share Posted July 19, 2019 Hearing Calgary fans are POed. They are asking why the Flames didn’t sign Ferland, who is a really good player, instead of getting Lucic, who is getting paid twice as much, and who can’t skate. 4 14 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 So Edmonton moves out Lucic and a conditional pick and retained salary? Ouch. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much better team. Calgary doesn't need an Eriksson though if they're looking for toughness. 4 minutes ago, Jam126 said: Miss out on what?

Analyst82 Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 I feel like Neal is more likely to have a bounce back year than Lucic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ya, because Neal was the engine driving the ship for the Flames last year. Both of these players suck and have awful contracts, but losing Neal and replacing him with some toughness, even if it's incredible slow and talentless toughness, is an improvement. Neal brought absolutely nothing to a team that didn't struggle to score, Lucic will at least make some players around the league think twice about taking runs at their top guys.

Lucic is far more useful than LE. What does hitting have to do with speed? Have you even seen him play the past 2 seasons? He can't score, he can't skate, he can't pass, he can't keep up with teammates. He only scored 2 goals in the entire calendar year of 2018. Plus he gets paid too much for a year longer than Eriksson. Cool he can hit and fight, that's also what Gudbranson was here, do not need a redux. 1 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This makes no sense from the Calgary POV. Looch must have waived his NMC entirely. If thats the case it might make some sense but if all they're getting is a slightly cheaper Lucic and a mid-round pick I don't really get it. I suppose Tkachuk not being a physical difference maker in the playoffs could be part of it? I swear tho, some part of me thinks Benning and Treliving have a side deal going. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As much as I wanted him for LE, I most definitely would say Neal is the better of all 3 players in question. Coilers win this trade. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ouch. its a good deal for them - they went from a contract that was impossible to buy out to one thats only 1.9 mil per year in cost, if it comes to that. I guess we'll have to see what the retention amount is but they didn't pay much to move that contract. And they kept Puljularvi who they might yet be able to turn into a recovered pick. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Trebreh Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 so... the Lames/Soilers biggest moves this off-season was exchanging garbage players? LOL!!! Talbot for Smith, Lucic for Neal. bold moves being made in Alberta! HAHAHAHA the Canucks will be better than both teams next season. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He never really hit and he never fought or stood up for his team mates that were being bullied on the ice (like EP). Stop saying he can’t skate. You can’t deliver a league high level 300 hits without skating. Lucic’s plus minus was also better than LE. The only thing LE has was his skill at the PK which would have been outdone by Lucic’s job in front of the net on the PP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just watch Eriksson get traded to Calgary and Lucic traded here. I wouldn't doubt it, Jimmy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maniwaki Canuck Posted July 19, 2019 Share Posted July 19, 2019 Love it. This hastens Calgary's demise. Can't wait to see Lucic in the handshake line after we beat them this year or next in the playoffs Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No seriously, he can't skate...lucic has that many hits only because the opponent would stop the Oilers play and transition and run into lucic while lucic is still stuck at center ice 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Calgary sheds Neal, ends up with a pick, Goldobin and Loui, we end up with cheaper Lucic. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
