According to Sportsnet’s Eric Francis, the Oilers would include a conditional draft pick and retain some of Lucic’s salary when the deal is completed.
Can confirm deal to send James Neal to Edm for Milan Lucic isn’t done yet, but is close. Oilers would include a conditional draft pick and retain some of Lucic’s salary when its completed
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Lucic never stole a pencil or an eraser...JUST his salary...! Jail the idiot who gave him this outrageous CONTRACT. No NHL CONTRACT SHOULD BE GUARANTEED... LOOK AT THE NFL.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames I'm not a flames fan but Calgary don't do it! Neal will have a better season this coming season!
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Big names, irrelevant players. Who cares?
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Its a loose vs loose 😂
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Meh. Hell, why not? It's a 'pick your poison' scenario. Or, at least, a 'swap your poison' proposition.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Neal had only 1 bad season and has the chance to bounce back. There is no chance Lucic learned to skate faster, he is what he is. Neal can be exposed at Expansion Draft. Lucic cannot be exposes... but I doubt an expansion team would want either if they both suck again this year!
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Good for both players and both teams. A fresh start for the players
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Calgary big winner
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Oilers trade: the obvious strength for goals, if allowed & used masterfully Neal knows how to put the puck in the net something Oilers really need, a focus on putting the puck in the net.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Can’t tell me we couldn’t have gotten a better return for Neal than this. Columbus? NYR? Lucic is gonna blow so bad for the next 4 years.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames 'big name' lol
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Maybe with Edm taking some of Lucic salary, it would be a cheaper buyout than Neal would have been. Then again maybe it's a dumpster fire.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames They would be big name wingers in a beer league....
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Neal will score 30 playing with actual talent while Lucic will play 5 min per game, score 3 goals in the next 4 years and get sent to minors half way thru year. Best we can hope. for is an injury so he can be put on LTR and save us cap room 960 NHLFlames
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Is Chiarelli secretly working for the Flames? Get it done Oilers
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames NHLFlames whyyyyy👎
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Ken Holland being able to trade lucic is good enough for me. I can’t believe someone was willing to take him. I take Neal over lucic big time. Lucic is not going to get faster. oilers flames
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Lucic has lost a lot of speed since leaving Boston. James Neal looks like a plus for Oilers.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Oilers have already paid Lucic large the way Pete C wrote it up I’m fine with it, hope Neal turns it around
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames I think it would be good for all involved
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Bigger upside for the Oilers.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Uhhhhh... good... luck with that....?
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Oilers scored big time!!!!!!
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames As a Flames fan, if I have to choose between low probability shot attempts or violence.... I choose violence
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Meh
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames I think this is a proper fit for both players based on their styles matching up with their new club's style. Both were over rated when they signed their deals, but to me, they now fit in properly.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames WTF 🤢
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Thank you Calgary!!! Thank you!!!
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Let’s go Flames
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames How much are your Oilers retaining of his contract
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Old Crappy has beens
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames What can Calgary be thinking? Getting rid of a dud for a bigger dud. They never gave Neal a chance to play with anyone good.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Watch...Lucic does in Calgary what he was supposed to do here...FML
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames I hate this more than anything.
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Garbage in, garbage out.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Boooooooooooo
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Yes
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames NHLFlames please just don’t. Just don’t. There’s better big guys. Please. I’m begging you, don’t.
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames What the F....
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Awful trade for the flames!! Just awful!
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Oilers lose on this deal, flames get tougher, Holland trades Lucic in same division, will have to face Lucic in the battles of Alberta, leaves McDavid less protected...this will be a battle now...
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Sucks, rather have Neal than Luvox at this point by a wide margin
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames I thought the Lucic contract was so bad, they'd never get rid of it. What is Calgary doing?
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames 😂😂😂
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Meh.
960 EdmontonOilers NHLFlames This is a huge fail for Calgary! Neal for a bag of rocks.. 👎
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames It’s a good trade I think. Could Neal be the goal scoring winger for cmcdavid97? Maybe🤔
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames I like it! I'm sorry James Neal didn't seem to find a fit here but hopefully Lucic can and helps us get back to the Stanley Cup finals next year.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames JacobKelly56 better get a lucic Jersey. Here he comes.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames My thoughts: 'LOL'
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Awesome move for Edmonton.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames I think Neal has a better chance to regain his best form than Lucic does
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Literally trading expensive old trash for expensive old trash
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Big name wingers ? What year is it ?
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Habs fan dodged a bullet with this one. Sounds like a typical Bergevin type of trade.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Like two rusted out battleships passing in the Panama Canal.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Trade fits both teams, sad to see realdeal go but not really any spots for him in the top six in yyc
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Last year was bad for Neal. But really Calgary? Really? 1 step forward, 2 steps back.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames NO !!!!
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Oil lost that trade if it happens. Lucic is going to have a kick ass year. I’d have held on one more year. There are more smaller pieces that could have been moved to free cap space. IMO
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Thank god it’s not the Canucks
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Is this a terrible joke? Is tre still on a stampede bender?
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Great for the Oil
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Hate it
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Think Edmomton wins this one, but both needed a change in scenery.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames 🤡
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Love Lucic. Would have liked to see him play his game for the Oil.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames That conditional pick better be a good one
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Haha Calgary sucks haha
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Lucic was more effective than Neal last year.
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Time for Tippett to work his magic 😁
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames calgary
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Terrible trade for Calgary
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Not. Happy
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames $*&*
EdmontonOilers NHLFlames Two bums in one trade
