By having 8 goals on the year... regardless of how he gets them and how far he’ll regress, he’s probably already outproduced lucic...
2/3 of our fwd group doesn’t have a goal... the flames haven’t scored a single goal with lucic on the ice and he’s a -3 on the year. Bringing on a player that has shown to be an ever bigger anchor at everything but hitting stuff doesn’t improve the actual team, shocker.
I’ll let this one play out at this point. People who are adamant here or anywhere else won’t be admitting anything at this point.
I am not sure why it doesn't matter how he gets them. If any replacement level guy can score the goals that he is scoring, and they certainly could, then he actually isn't helping the Oilers out at all. I know he has done a good job of getting Oiler fans giddy over nothing but he hasn't hasn't provided them with anything that one of their AHL scrubs couldn't have done if put in the same spot.
And yes Lucic sucks. I have said that many times. Criticizing James Neal and pointing out his flaws doesn't mean that I endorse Lucic. It is possible to point out how they both suck.
