Let’s not get carried away here ...remember you cheer for the canucks ....maybe chirp when all these off season moved actually end in more than drafting 9th overall

Flames have had their share of bottom feeding, its fun watching them (frank) it up though. I don't watch much flames but happened to neal?

someone sounds a little sensitive

Nah lol they are both buyouts at expansion so I don’t care as much as maybe I should

Still not a good trade, but I won’t lose any sleep over it lol

He didn’t do much of anything ...he had a Ridiculous low shooting %

“Only way this is a win is if lucic can take out Neal in the first battle if Alberta”

Or this and Everyone wins!

The Canucks dodged a bullet. Watch Neal light it up in Edmonton.

Trouba 8milX7
Shattenkirk 6.6X2
Staal 5.7X2
Skjei 5.3X5
B.Smith 4.7X2

Thats one disgustingly overpaid D core + 0$ left to sign DeAngelo their top offensive Dman last year and Buchnevich, who's a top 6 winger. What an incredible rebuild!

Jeff Gorton is number 1 remember. He's handed out about 5 terrible contracts in the past two years but since he's not Van's GM. He's a god.

I hope that Podkolzin has a good year in the KHL this season.

He's slowly making his way up the rankings.

It could actually work out for both of em.
Perhaps Lucic can perform with a team with actual depth.

Isn't that why they lost in the first round?

He is plodding, slow and useless.

Oh. I don’t actually watch the Flames. Lol.

I just know they have more depth than the Oil. 🤷🏼‍♂️

The first 2 mean the same thing. Yes. He’s slow.
I don’t agree he’s actually useless.
Overpriced? For sure. But I think he can be of value still.
Time will tell.

This is a question for someone who has real knowledge. If anyone can tweet Biech or someone.

Poolstart is an RFA with no rights what so ever.

If Van trades for him do they have to "re qualify" him or anything. Can they sign him to a contract and/or loaned back to Europe for a season?

I can certainly see Neal bouncing back - Lucic nope, never. The game has truly passed him by - but Neals season in Calgary was an outlier, he's been a consistent 20+ goal scorer his entire career and I think he has a few good years left in him. He may allow the Oil to finally separate Drai/McD and now have another decent winger that can score other than RNH & Chaisson.

There are only a few teams that really don't have enough space for their RFA's right now.

Toronto has 9 wish for Marner
Tampa Bay has 10.5 for Point
Tkachuk/Bennett pre Lucic 9.5 probably a little short there.
Connor/ Laine/ Pionk/ Copp 22 million plus 4 others needed to be signed.
Buchnevich/ Deangelo cap space zero
McAvoy/ Carlo 9 million

Not too many teams in trouble.

For sure Lucic won’t bounce back and return to be a dominant player and score 30+ goals.
I just think he could have value in the right situation.
Glad that it’s not here tho.

poop. Lucic got away.

Well played Calgary. Well played indeed.

Is this supposed to be Podkolzin? Puljujarvi? Or some kind of generator that heats up your pool?

Thank you Mr. Sunshine. What would we do without your daily affirmations?

Id be blown away if Lucic ever scores 10 goals again. Main thing is I'm glad he's not our problem.
