Lucic gets paid. It's a good fit. He'll be worth the first half of the contract. Price of doing business.

Todd McLellan is an inside agent
Yep.
He's Bowser from Mario Kart though.
Don't make him do stops and starts and he's actually pretty well above average.
You mean the guy who had his career ended by concussions?
How does that relate to falling off a cliff.

His drop in play started well before the concussions that happened after we traded him and put the end to his career

Hard to compare the two tbh. Clowe was effective for 3 seasons while Lucic has been effective for what 6 seasons now. Can we really even be sure that Clowe's last season in SJ wasn't just a down season similar to Lucic's last season in Boston? Those types of things happen to just about any NHL player where they underproduce from their career norms. At this point we can't even really know for sure because of Clowe's 4 concussions in 2 seasons after that. I'll worry about it with Lucic if/when I see it, but there is plenty of examples of players who fall off after 30, and plenty of examples of players who remain very good players into their mid to late 30's playing a similar style of game as Lucic.
Remember when Scott Gomez was one of the best smaller forwards in the league and his play dropped off a cliff. Maybe that will happen to every smaller player, but we won't know for sure.
Clowe suffered a series of concussions which greatly diminished his ability to play. Using him as an example would be like using Savard as an example for why no small player should ever be signed to a long term contract.
Lucic has also been a much more consistent player than Clowe ever was.
It doesn't at all but it's a convenient excuse for people to hate on Lucic and the Oilers for signing him to this contract.

x – Edmonton
I couldn't care less about a 1 season wonder. Florida is a good team though

Plenty of evidence and names have been provided. I've provided evidence as have other posters. It's up to you guys to not ignore it.

Plenty of power forwards have played well into their 30s.
Maybe the Sharks will keep learning the lesson Polak learnt. The Sharks will hate it when Nurse becomes an alpha dog. It won't be fun coming into Edmonton anymore.
I have you guys as #1 in the Pacific. The Sharks are the Oilers top competition. We have to battle with you first and foremost above all.
Nothing but respect for your team. Love the name especially. Hopefully Nurse responds with another +4 performance against you
.And plenty haven't.
These sentences are contradictory.

I really don't care what Nurse does against our AHL team. I'm not sure why you are bringing him into this thread?

It's worth mentioning, given your username and picture. Sharks fans generally have an excellent reputation on HF. You sent a goon after a young rookie who beat the **** out of Polak. He finished +4 after your "lesson".
As to your second point, the sentence is not contradictory. I said the Sharks are number #1 and they are the Oilers top competition.
If the Sharks are #1, the Oilers must be at least less than #1? As a matter of propositional logic that statement is true, correct?
So, how would my statement that the Sharks are the Oilers #1 competition be false? As a matter of strict logic, the Sharks as the #1 would make my statement about them being the top competition true.
I think you're in the wrong thread. This is a thread on Milan Lucic.
Any team at the top is not the Oilers competition this year. You're getting ahead of yourself. Lets let them make the playoffs first, yea?

True. I put the Sharks as public enemy number #1 though after last season. You guys have a good team that we need to conquer before we get anywhere.

A little off topic but is anyone else out there pumped for the forthcoming battle of Alberta's , finally she's going to be a gooder again.

Yes I hope to see Lucic do this to one of the flames, preferably Gaudreau.
I kid, I kid. I don't want little Johnny boy to have nightmares.

And yet most of them have been poor examples, and there have been plenty of evidence and names provided the other way as well.

Eberle will keep up with him, maybe not speed wise but in terms of processing the game!

we're not comparing 32YO Clowe to 28YO Lucic are we?
ignoring the fact that Lucic is the better player, you're basically telling me Luc should be good for 4-5 years of the contract which is what I'm expecting
