Speculation: Does Lucic want out of Edmonton?

[StreetHawk]

I'm no CBA expert but I have to think it can be done. But maybe I'm wrong

Can it be done? Yes. Berglund walked out in the Sabres and they voided his contract with the league. It means that the player leaves the remainder of his contract in the table. Given the amount of $20 million for Milan is that likely?

What a ridiculous comment. I keep reading how fans think it'll take 8 OA or multiple 1sts like this guy... ask yourselves if there has ever been a trade like that in the history of the NHL. Answer? Never.

Never been a trade to get out of a contract??

CHI/CAR 2016 (Bickell/Taravainan for picks)
DET/ARZ 2016 (Datsyuk/16 OA for Vitale/20 OA)
FLA/ARZ 2016 (Bolland/Crouse for two picks)
CBJ/VGK 2017 (Clarkson/1st for expansion draft choice)
MTL/WPG 2018 (Mason/Armia/picks for Bourque)
CHI/ARZ 2018 (Hossa/Hinostroza/Oestrele deal)

Never been a trade with those kinds of assets moving out to dump said contract. Two first rounders? That's just plain dumb.

Better question would be who DOESNT want out of Edmonton

The title should be

Anyway the Oilers can dump Lucic?
