Wow. That is bad if its 1 for 1. Great on Edmonton to do the impossible. Neal could still be a decent player with the right players around him.

 

[Seanaconda]

I'm down for this. Neal hasn't been great but I hate watching the puck go anywhere near lucic.

Him and tkachuk won't be fun to play against just for the injuries but oh well

(Assuming it happens)

 

[Legionnaire]

Flames, huh. Why?

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Holy shit this actually might be happening

 

[Warden of the North]

This seems like a bad deal for Calgary

 

[bobholly39]

Wow what a steal by Edmonton if so.

Does Neal become their 4th best forward?

 

[Fistfullofbeer]

So who loses this trade more?

This seems like a bad deal for Calgary

Assuming no salary retention, I agree.

 

[Michoulicious]

It's HAPPENING.

*runs around screaming*

Probably has more pieces. Flames are way too deep on the left side to do it without more pieces unless they are insane

 

[Crazy Joe Divola]

Lol

 

[crackdown44]

Please be fake

In the mix, for sure. He was terribad last year but there’s precious little standing in his way for a top six job here.

I think James Neal has potential to rebound, especially if he gets to play beside McDavid.


Nice deal for Edmonton

 

[Seanaconda]

Flames if its 1 for 1

 

[EpochLink]

Good lord, Neal can somewhat be productive.
Lucic on the other hand.....yikes.

 

[Hostile Offer]

If it's a one for one, the Oilers have to retain. Don't see how this makes any sense for the Flames otherwise.

 

[Skolman]

Yes!!!!

 

[Agalloch]

Why the Flames do this ? Lucic can't be bought out... and they need money. I would have bought out Neal instead.

If EDM retained, it could be a good deal for CGY. I expect Neal to be bought out by EDM...

 

[Nucker42]

As a Canucks fan seems like both these guys needed a fresh start...

Lucic more money and term have to think Calgary gets sweetener.
