Player Discussion Can Lucic bounce back? Part II

[McFlash97]

6 million dollar albatross.

unbelievable contract. This alone should never land Chiarelli a job with another club again.

7 years, and 4 years remaining after this year.

for 10 to 15 points a year.

He's definitely got at least 1 assist that I can think of in the last 12.
So something wrong there.

Yes, he had 2 whole assists in those 12 games (14 point full season pace). This person was just being mean not giving him the credit he was due and focusing on his 0.42 shots/game rate.

5 shots though...my god. 69 shots total for the season. If there was any justice he would be the guy with 0 goals, not Toby with his 83 shots.

Hahaha, i get the point. But it makes it seem like he had no points at all, which is nearly true, but not quite.

Time to hang them up Milan.

He is just too slow. All these "hits" he gets credited for are BS. Every hit he is doing more damage to himself, 90% of his body smashes into the boards because he cant catch anybody, he grazes off people. Not to mention his inability to take or recieve a pass.

At least if he would stand in front of the net, take some abuse and screen the goalie. Make some space in the slot it wouldnt be as bad.

Lucic flat out sucks. He shouldn't play another game this year. Next year if he's the same Lucic.......cut him and buy him out.

You can’t “cut him” as NHL contracts are guaranteed.

Have you seen what a buyout on his contract is? It’s buyout proof.

Anyone know what Tonya Harding's bodygaurd is up to these days?

[DingerMcSlapshot]

Even if you had to pay Lucic every cent on his contract it's still worth it just to get him off this team. In essence it equals cutting him.

Hopefully it doesnt come to that.

 

[fuswald]

Nothing wrong with getting paid what you're worth.

Getting paid what you can get away with is the rule.

 

[Frank the Tank]

The new GM will have to sit down with Lucic and find a mutually agreeable solution. The best result for the Oilers would be a Clarkson or Horton-style LTIR situation.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Forget Leon chasing 50 goals and Connor chasing down 120 points.

I'm watching to see if Lucic can reach the vaunted 20 point plateau.

 

[CantHaveTkachev]

Ryan Reaves is twice as effective and less than half the price for only 2 years

unreal how far Looch has fallen as a player

 

[Oilers in NS]

That is what I have been saying the whole time. In the offseason, he should go to Tonya Harding’s School of Skating and Leg Braking

The scary thing is that he isn't the only one. Larsson has had a sharp decline since the one year too.

But man Lucic is just a fat pile of nothing who still escapes accountability.

He has to be thinking it. Regardless of the $.

Personal pride has to come into play.

Retire - offer him a Player Development role in Bako for $3M a year....

Pretty much agree. His contract is crippling this team. He is barely an NHL player if he even is one. Hes a fourth line player at best and only going downward.

 

[Little Fury]

We're gonna have to just buy him out IMO. Sucks, but it is what it is.

 

[thalegion]

contract is buy out proof too as we get very little cost savings from it cap wise.

 

[MessierII]

No point

 

[Patch101]

There is absolutely nothing you can do with him outside of an agreements to move him
with a good asset to an Ottawa type team while eating salary.

 

[thalegion]

Convince him he is allergic to sweat and IR him for the next few years.
