I thought Oilers media was bad. Francis is a freaking clown. Even Stauffer isn't this bad. I heard him compare James Neals 6 goals which right now leads the NHL and then said "Lucic is leading the league in his own stats, PIMs".
I don't care who you are and what style of game you like. There isn't a GM around that would take PIMS over goals. I bet Treleving as much as he wanted to make the Flames tougher is not too thrilled seeing Neal with 6 goals and Lucic with not even a point and 1 shot and would gladly trade a few PIMS for some points from Lucic.
Francis actually believes and said it in his article that Flames fans would be happy if Lucic repeated his 6 goals from last year as long as he lumbers around the ice trying to pick fights. At 5.25 mill, is he nuts?

PIMs are such a funny stat. It’s super rare that an actual “good” penalty gets taken, like preventing a sure goal or breakaway, but then if somebody has lots of PIMs at the end of the year that’s somehow a positive. Nobody is intimidated nowadays, if they ever were, and frankly I’d take the power play over the intimidation anyways.

Travis Yost is rarely a popular guy on this site, but this may change his fortunes a little bit...

This article is easy pickings for him. The Lucic trade is inexcusable for the Flames. Even if Neal doesn't work out, you can buy him out easily. It's never a good thing to buyout a player but the Oilers could do it and get some benefit from it. Lucic's contract is buyout proof. Then you factor in that Lucic has a no move and Neal doesn't. So when the expansion draft comes which that all know when it is this time, they have to protect Lucic. The Oilers don't have to protect Neal.
So the Flames have hamstringed themselves big time with a player taking up 5.25 mill who can't be a top 6 player. I get they wanted to get tougher and meaner and maybe Lucic brings that element to a degree but to bring a guy in with a contract as BAD as Lucic's contract is, is beyond stupid. They could have gotten a guy to do what Lucic does for easily half the price.
