Don't be ridiculous. Neal was more impactful here regular season and playoffs than Lucic ever was outside of the '16-'17 regular season.
Also, look at the buyout details. That's another reason why the trade was made.
You want to have over 5 million in dead cap next year? And almost 4 million for the following 2 years? In a time when the cap is going to be flat over that time?
Buying out Neal would be inexcusable at this point. You probably have to package picks and send him somewhere.
