Rumor: Bruins interested in a reunion with Lucic

[BruinsFan37]

If it's less than a mil I can live with it, but I really don't want him back.

He's not good enough anymore to be an everyday player, and I respect him too much for 2011 to have him sit in the rafters for 90-95% of the games -- which is where he should be.

 

[KingsHockey24]

Only cool if you bring back McQuaid.

 

[PB37]

Bruins did bring McQuaid back! He works in player development now for the organization.

 

[The don godfather]

Lucic will have another gear when he wears the black and gold.

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

It would be something to see Lucic in Black and gold again.

I'm guessing this is more of a move to help put seats in the stands. Not sure yet what the B's are gonna be next year. But I'm expecting a lean year.

I've got his Stanley Cup Final Jersey.

Loved watching him play; glad that he's back in Boston.

Dont underestimate the Boston Bruins.

Dont underestimate the Boston Bruins.

If they exceed my expectations. I'll be pleasantly surprised. Will be watching no matter what though. Love Looch, but see this as a nostalgic move to pump the fan base. Maybe he can teach Frederic how to be a real tough guy.

Lucic will surprise and put some decent numbers I actually have him over 10 goals next year .

Except in the playoffs. It's ok to do that.

Remember 2019.

 

[pearljamvs5]

Remember 2019.

2019?? As in the year the B's literally went to the brink of success but lost the absolute final game of the season, either way, to the league champion? The year Lucic score a grand total of 20 points, all season, while his team DNQ for the playoffs?

Please don't take me wrong; Lucic is an all time class act. A literal living legend. I still vividly remember sitting parked my 1996 Chevy Caviler in the parking lot of a Price Chopper I worked in as I heard Milan receive the game misconduct against Spacek game six. The year the cup came back home.

I am not, and do not in any way claim to be an all time suffering fan; I am only 35 years old, but Milan was an absolute beast for us from the moment he was drafted. He has not had it easy, but he deserves nothing but the best in life. As much as I would love him to come back home to Boston, he has nothing left to prove as far as legacy; he ultimately will not end up contributing to the team's future as a player on the ice. He would be more than welcomed in any other than role, but in no way will he be more valuable than a kid on the fourth line.

For league minimum I hope. Bring Bergy and Krejci back for another season and pretend 12 years haven’t passed and make a run for the cup

Better chance of Bergy coming back than Krejci

He’s a better option than Foligno and his $4 mil price tag

 

[Terrier]

 

[BatVader]

In all fairness, it’s not said they want him back as a player… maybe there’s an opening in janitorial services

 

[Hookslide]

Someone on the Bruins board mentioned this is right out of the Harry Sinden playbook...

don't look at the fire blazing over here... look at Milan Lucic!

Could not say it better myself..........Like many B's fans love the guy but.........

 

[HF007]

Only way this works is he signs for 1 mill or less and takes a undonis haslem role

 

[GeeoffBrown]

The Providence Bruins?

 

[Skolman]

lmao

Leafs & Bruins.. potentially each signing plugs in Reaves & Lucic

 

[SeanMoneyHands]

It’s happening whether you like it or not.

 

[lawrence]

Bruins just saved the Canucks from themselves.

 

[CapsFrontOffice]

Thats good if you are going for the "we want to sound competitive next year, just not be competitive"

and they are letting Orlov walk, all the wrong moves

 

[BLNY]

Putting the "tool" in retool.

Orlov wants to get PAID and PAID long term. They wanted to bring back Hathaway and Bertuzzi, but looks like they think there is more money out in UFA. Lucic getting 900k to play of the fourth line or someone else getting 900k to play on the fourth line has no bearing on that.
