Because they rolled it back the last time. I'm sure they'll do it this time. I'd be shocked if they didn't.
Value of: A Lucic Trade That Makes Sense?

In case the point went over your head, the implication was if I had the ability to get Lucic at 99% retained I wouldn't. In other words he's a waste of a roster slot. I'm well aware of what the CBA says.

Is the max retention 50%? Or can a 3 team trade be worked out where Edmonton eats 50% and the other team retains 25% more?
Didn't this happen with brassard last year? Or is still just to a max of 50%

Max 2 retentions. 50% retention per trade. So yeah, it is possible for 2 teams to eat up 75% of his salary but it's only happened once before (Devan Dubnyk)

Leafs need more toughness other than Kadri to get past the Bruins and Caps
Hyman tries but not tough enough. How about Zach for Lucic and 50 % retention That would even out the salary

Hear me now, believe me later.
Book it.
They're gonna roll it back. It might only be by about $5 million a year or maybe even only $4, but they're gonna roll it back.
The only way they won't roll it back is if they wanna screw the teams for some of these shitty contracts they've signed and make them lay in the bed they've made, but if they roll the cap back, they'll give every team at least one amnesty buyout.
How does rolling back the cap help teams that have bad contracts?
I don’t think you have a good grasp on how this works.

Lucic would hold some value at 50% retention. The issue is that if they retained 50% they would just be better off holding onto him. The retention and return would most likely negate any cap savings

Even at 50% retention he has negative value....
Forget about the name on the jersey. Why would any team give something of value for 16 point 4th line level player signed for 5 seasons at 3 million?

Lucic as a bottom six is fine at 3 million. He's looked better lately having been taken away from the top 6. Edmonton tried to make him into something he is not.

Not in the slightest.
16 point pace is 4th line territory. Those players should be making 1-1.5 million at most.
People need to stop letting this guy’s reputation from like 4-5 years ago cloud their judgement about the player he is today. Odds are higher he’s out the league in a couple seasons than ever returning to form.
You have to be kidding right? Our left side is weak to begin with and you are gonna trade a player signed for less than 3 million that can play on any of the lines. Plays PK, can skate, does the grunt work and doesn’t take dumb penalties.
If we got him for 1-2 million and it cost us no more than a 5th perhaps.
Worst proposal I have seen in a while, bravo!

Funny enough it’s pretty widely rumoured Montreal was extremely interested and offered him the exact same contract but he wanted to be here.

Wouldn’t be surprising. The Habs and Oilers are two of the worst run organizations in the league. Perfectly logical they’d each make the same blunder if given the chance
Don't engage Mersss, he hates the Oilers and bashes them whenever he gets the chance. Odds are he'll get banned again and we'll see Mersssss

Probably, yes.
Plenty of other teams cut deals, no reason we can’t do the same if all those guys look like they’re worth protecting. Right now we have maybe four or five forwards worth protecting.
