Funny how I keep are ng Flames fans talk about how Neal was slow and terrible. They said he brings nothing to the game now and talk about his terrible attitude. Then they start going on about Lucic bringing the leadership and physically. Somehow he will be that deterrent that will help keep their players safe. I don't really know about how bad Neal was last year, but it's clear that he hated the coach and didn't get the role on the team he though he would. We all know too well here what Lucic brings now. He got 259 hits last year, but does anyone here remember any? I was surprised he was credited with so many. So often he was too slow to add anything, and when he did try it was for only a game or two at a time. Flames fans have talked themselves into liking this deal more, but I think they are going to be extremely disappointed by what they see. I think Lucic will come out with about 20-30 physical games, but will start to drop off. He says he needs to play in important games to play better, but I think that is the excuse he tells himself at this point so he doesn't feel like he can't play NHL hockey anymore.

I do think for Calgary the barometer for Lucic success is different though. They’re already a playoff team. If he coasts through the 82 and then shows up in a couple playoff series games maybe he isn’t seen as such a boat anchor. My hope is they force him into the top 6 and PP1 so he can really damage their performance.

Looch hasn't been noticeable in the playoffs for over half a decade though. Complete passenger in LA, enjoying riding Kopitar coattails and not doing much. Barely noticeable for us aside from being on the ice when Drai was going nuts in the 2nd round. 0 5v5 goals in his last 18 playoff games.

Neal was one of the only guys the flames had that actually did something in the last ~5 years in the playoffs.

Fingers crossed the flames don't start next year with 5 guys rocking ~20% shooting% 1-2 months into the season, riding that high through the year. Damn their regular season wonder team.

To be fair, Neal didn't do much in the playoffs...played in 4 of 5 this spring, scoring 0-0-0...Not his finest performance. You can bet if the Flames make the playoffs, and Lucic scores even one point, that will come up...

"Thinking that a bad team's best players are the reason the team is bad is the "Tambellini re-signing Lennart Petrell" of sports opinions." @Woodguy55
