Probably prefer the ottawa side as far as players go too tho

Jakub Vrana 3.5M per x 2 yrs
Connor Carrick 1.5M per x 2 yrs

[Bruyns]

Interesting on Carrick, figured he would get minimum after not doing much last season.

Read the idea of lucic for neal but had no idea why cgy would do it - must be some nice add ons

Yuck

[Handsome&FairMike]

... and it appears too be 1:1

[Matthew]

Fair deal for trouba if he keeps up this level of play.

[Loki]

Edmonton apparently retaining $600k

Edit: Seem they're actually retaining $750k and giving up a conditional 3rd

[Florida Chris]

I like it for me...Lucic needed a fresh start big time.

[Matthew]

Lucic/neal is gross but fair. Similar age, similar term and cap, and both fell off a cliff. fresh start for both, but not much will probably change at this age.

For bbkl probably prefer lucic as he still gets Pim and hits.

[Arian The Insider]

James Neal is better looking, win for the Oilers

[The BBKL Insider]

James Neal is better looking, win for the Oilers

I thought the same

[Loki]

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.

[The BBKL Insider]

Well I cant see that happening, unless Neal plays with McDavid
