That million isn’t worth having to protect Lucic....just my opinion tho
- RatedR80

I agree. Either way they have an out with Neal. Solid move. Chia wouldn’t have made this trade.

I’m pretty happy about it seeing as some experts said it would cost us a 1st to do it and retain 50% this is much better AND the Flames have to protect Lucic at the Seattle draft

And Rangers overpaid Trouba. Glad Detroit dodged that bullet.

I agree. I don’t get it from their standpoint. Kurt Leavins seemed to know that this was coming. I think he has a source on the Flames.

Re: Nuge

I think a big part of his qualms are with the inconsistency of his linemates, not just the quality. If we can staple him together with Neal and Benson and let them develop some chemistry, then I think that covers his main line-related complaint. Next would be winning which I think is better served by keeping the wonder duo together.

Drai / McDavid / Chiasson
Neal / Nuge / Benson


Trade Puju to Carolina for Wallmark (3rd line C) Bingo will make it happen.

Treliving needs to be fired for this trade. I’m so shocked that Holland was able to pull this off. Huge win for Oilers fans today!!!

Holland is an alright GM. I’ve been telling you guys. Give him time, he’ll do alright. Not very good, not terrible. He’ll do alright. And that’s enough of a start.

Yeah, probably. Talbot and Lucic will have career games against you guys. At least you won’t lose as good a player as the Flames will in the draft now.

Kypreos reporting that Neal has and will be training with McDavid this summer...Wonder if Connor had some input on the trade ?

I’m so happy for you guys. (frank) Lucic and oil90.

Thought Holland best days were behind him???can't make trade in cap era...listen and learn son...

I’ve been following Holland for 25 years, kid. Watch who you call son, poop head.

If you could read worth a poop, you’d know I said he was good at the small things and internal development. He hasn’t done crap for top notch scoring in years.. this doesn’t change that.

This is great news.....sounds like Neal wants to make it work with the Oilers

I just hope Lucic doesn’t flatten McDavid but he would have to catch him first

That would be awesome if he can maybe pick his shape back up to what it was 2-3 years ago and be a 15-20 goal and assist guy again.

You mean Neal ISN’T gonna score 40 goals?

No, he won’t.

Maybe 20.

I’ll be stunned if he gets 40 points

Two conditions have to be met for Oilers to send 3rd round pick to Calgary - James Neal has to record at least 21 goals and Lucic scores at least 10 fewer goals than Neal.


So no 3rd will be exchanged

His career avg. shooting % over 82 games would've had him at that total last year.

Does it become another pick? That's a funny (frank)ing condition, and I wonder what years it applies in.
