Converting Lucic to Defenseman

[Ragdoll]

Lol this dude would get f***ing walked every shift as a d-man. They would skate around him and he would literally just fall trying to turn. Would be hilarious but nope.

There's zero chance Lucy is converted to a defenseman. The guy couldn't play defense on my beer league team. I'm thinking Lucic doesn't finish the year in the NHL. The Oilers got burned by a risky signing. End of story. His isn't the only bad contract on this crappy team.

This is a hyperbole but the trades that took place this week have filled the cap so far. What is left now buyout either 2019 or 2020... FIRE CHIARELLI

Everytime I see a "convert forward to D D to forward" thread I

How do people think of these things?

Yea, convert a player to a position he's never played. Brilliant.

I think they should try him in net. I mean, he’s great defensively, big enough to cover most of it, and would be very aggressive on the pokecheck.
Oh, and Oilers win by 7 on New Years against Winnipeg.

Backup goalie. You know, the guy who stands behind the goalie in the net in case the goalie misses it.

Not sure if this is serious or sarcasm but I’ve been saying this for a while. Everyone quotes the speed but he’s faster than Dustin Bufflin.

Found Todd from Leduc's main account

This right here lol.

 

[McBooya42]

This is probably the most ridiculous idea/thread I’ve come across

You haven't read enough Todd....

 

[McDrai]

Can Lucic skate backwards? I'm gonna guess NO.

He can barely skate forwards lol

 

[The Batman]

What next, try him in goal?

He can be the guy wearing Hunter's costume if he still wants to be part of the organization.

Just when you think Chia has the worst ideas in Edmonton...

 

[ElysiumAB]

Probably the worst idea in the history of HF.

 

[fuswald]

Probably the worst idea in the history of HF.

Not even close.

 

[Jimmi McJenkins]

I would rather convert him into a scout

 

[Messrules11]

You haven't read enough Todd....

Haha, yeah, I’ve seen some of his posts... whoa

 

[Da McBomb]

Into a #7 dman? Sure.. if that means he'll be in the press box most nights

 

[Sprague Cleghorn]

Byfuglien was drafted as a Dman who got moved up to F for a bit ala Brent Burns.

Fedorov is the only forward I know who moved to D successfully as NHL veteran. Looch is no Fedorov

Fedorov was never a full time d so even using him doesnt work.

I want to convert Lucic to an NHL player. Lets use advanced cutting edge U of A gene therapy and splice some Gretzky into him. Waynes a donor anyway. What could go wrong?
