Wait...how can they say that before July 1st?
Good, but hopefully JB doesn't overpay eriksson/brouwer/fiddler/helm
That would be the best possible news on Lucic.
a) we don't get him.
b) we drive the price up for him on a stupid deal for Edmonton.
c) Benning looks like a chump for failing to get his guy after all the hype the organization put out there. Ownership hopefully unimpressed.
He will try as hard has he did during this past trading deadline.Benning: "Since Lucic has stated he is signing in Edmonton, we have decided to focus all our attention on signing Erikkson, Brouwer, Fiddler, Helm, and the Stay Puft Marshmellow Man. We feel all will add the needed toughness we are lacking."

This is what a lot of posters have been saying since the end of the last season. It doesn't matter how much cap space the Canucks have ... nobody will sign here.
d) The Oilers move a superstar winger Hall for a pedestrian top 4 defenseman like Hamonic or something.

e) Oilers barely miss the playoffs and win the draft lottery.

Jim screwed up, he mixed up Serbs and Croats at the dinner or ordered his steak well done or something. Lucic and his agent took one look at this tire fire of an organization and couldn't sign with ****ing EDMONTON fast enough. This is where the Vancouver Canucks are at in 2016.
Vern Fiddler, future Canuck.
Is this what we are going to do now? Criticize him for not doing something we never wanted him to do in the first place?
