If you wanted the dynamic tandem of Lucic and Bennett, I am sure you could just reach into your pocket and give whatever coins/lint/kleenex you have in exchange
That's odd. I took a peek at the Flames board a few days ago to see if you guys were itching to get rid of Giordano and wound up reading scads of irritable posts about how dreadful Lucic's defense was.What a bizarre take. Lucic has played an effective role as a middle six left winger in typically a shutdown role. His poise with the puck has helped his line break out of the defensive zone more often than not, and he's one of his team's leaders in both goals scored and possession metrics.
I'm not sure which Milan Lucic you've been watching, but from the sounds of it you haven't watched him at all and probably just dug up some plus-minus stat that means SFA.
Salty Oiler fans just mad that Lucic has more goals than 80% of their roster. How's Neal looking at 6.5 million? Cheers for the 3rd rounder btw
Neal isnt costing us massively at 5on5.Salty Oiler fans just mad that Lucic has more goals than 80% of their roster. How's Neal looking at 6.5 million? Cheers for the 3rd rounder btw

So its looking pretty good.
Lucic gets 1 more minute per game, hes giving up goals at a 4 goals/60 rate, what is he shutting down exactly?Thats because he doesn't get any ice time. Cause he sucks. If Lucic was such a detriment 5v5 he wouldnt be playing on our shutdown defensive line. He's made a couple bad giveaways, sure, but he's a physical force and probably the toughest guy in the league right now. Neal is barely trusted to play 4th line minutes, 6.5 million for that guy is a joke when he brings nothing to the table other than McDavid PP tap ins.

They are both terrible players. The major key is that Lucic automatically occupies an protection spot for the expansion draft and Neal doesnt. The Flames basically have to beg Lucic to waive his NMC, and from last expansion draft, virtually no player agreed to waive their NMC. Lucic also has buy out proof contract
I can live with a player being a bum on the ice, I can not live with a contract that causes so many issues. So for that reason, Lucic has next to no value and no sane GM would trade for him
Looks great. We look forward to buying him out this summer.Salty Oiler fans just mad that Lucic has more goals than 80% of their roster. How's Neal looking at 6.5 million? Cheers for the 3rd rounder btw
If he was making 1M he would be considered the heart and soul of the team by fans awing over him.I thought he was pretty solid for the flames no?
All of HF values these two with no value.
No at paying assets to get rid of them.
Lucic and Bennett are doing just fine for us.
If he was making 1M he would be considered the heart and soul of the team by fans awing over him.
If he was making 3M he would be considered an adequate, if not unfortunately not quite as hyped up to be, player
But he's making 6M (0.75 from the Oilers lol).
He is but we can use the moneyI thought he was pretty solid for the flames no?
