James neal has 11 goals and is a -9

[Del Preston]

Fascinating to watch some of you Flames fans just dig the hole deeper and deeper.

 

[dss97]

Of course the Flames fan OP provides zero context. He's been on the ice for 5 empty netters against.

11 goals and -4 in 17 games vs 0 goals and whatever Lucic is. Not a hard choice.

Flames fans will do any and all mental gymnastics to convince themselves that wasn’t one of the worst trades in recent memory.

Oh man. Idk how I missed this thread but ty for another thread to spam every time Neal scores.

Just take the L from your management making one of the worst trades in the history of the world. L’s are necessary in becoming a more battle hardened and wiser person. L’s are okay flames fans. Ees ok.

Chaisson had 10 goals this time last year. This year 0. Soooo really nothing has changed. Congrats on replacing Chaisson with Neal I guess.

Why? We just really, really, REALLY hated Neal

What's become funny is Oiler fans are so desperate for a win.. at ANYTHING.. that they are clinging on to Neal gor Lucic of all things.

One of the worst trades in the history of the world? Why dont you refresh your memory about Hall, Schultz, Pronger, the Eberle tree, Griffin Reinhart.

CP conspiracies should just stay on there. None of those Oilers trades are as bad as helping a provincial rival by taking Lucic.

 

[Del Preston]

12-0

@Puckluck13

5-on-5 goal too.

You mad.

Neal hasn't played very good in Edmonton though. He has been complete dog crap 5 on 5 and only able to score tap-ins created by other players that you or I could score.

And Lucic is not worse than Neal. They are both complete garbage.

You keep stating this and yet Lucic couldn't score those easy "tap-ins" that apparently anyone can score.

And then beyond on ice comparisons, the Lucic contract is significantly worse than Neal's when considering the expansion draft and potential buyouts.

 

[jeffff]

12 goals!!!

Yeah but he’s -8!!

 

[Tad Mikowsky]

Neal scored, @Puckluck13 will start another thread about his plus minus

I keep saying it because it is true.

Another empty net tap in creating by others than anyone could score doesn’t change it.

All time.

At least they're getting a bonus 3rd round pick out of it. Gotta lessen the sting a bit.

Let's entertain your thought that Neal is simply doing what anyone else in the NHL can do by tapping in pucks... Lucic can't even do that. Therefore, he's worse (and has a terrible contract).

You’re a g dude. You know what you’re talking about.

Lucic could if put in the same position and yes he does have a terrible contract.

 

[Frank the Tank]

He was in the same position for two seasons and failed miserably.

 

[Garbo Man]

He was put in the same if not BETTER position while he was here and hasn't done what Neal is doing so
