many thanks for your response.Taking Manning won’t have much value to us. We get a million in cap relief by leaving him buried.
IMO the Oilers would entertain Lucic at full pop + 8 but they’d need to get something useful or a late first back.
Eriksson and Sutter and BeagleHow much of a market is there for Milan Lucic at 3 million for 4 more years + the 8th overall pick in the 2019 draft?
NO it's not.
A guy can accept to be tarded to another team (therefore WAIVE his NMC) in the case were the receiving team agrees to give him a new one.
Therefore, unless receiving team AGREES to hand Lucic a new NMC when moving, he'll reject ANY trade involving him. He may be hated in EDM, but it's still WAY better to be hated in EDM travellign 5stars vs being hated in Belleville (sens affiliate) AND riding the bus.
Habs maybe interested in such a move. Feel there is strong chance he will waive to come here. Julien is here now and we were 2nd in bidding for Lucic services back in 2016.How much of a market is there for Milan Lucic at 3 million for 4 more years + the 8th overall pick in the 2019 draft?
#11 overall from the Flyers and another smaller piece?
If this trade happened, it means you could expose him in an expansion draft since he already waived his NMC, FWIW.
I think they’d entertain that for sure.
I think if I was the oilers I’d rather keep the 8th and trade Poolparty in its place because he’s developing the way they thought he would. Fresh start for the both of them wouldn’t hurt.
For the deal to be accepted, the NMC would have to be waived altogether.
Jesus how the hell did Lucic and Russell get NMC's?
You don't have to convince me, I'm just saying a team will be more likely to make the trade if Lucic rids his contract of his NMC, especially for 2021 season --- for the awesome expansion draft.
No way I would do that trade. Primeau is going to be a stud and Lucic contract is terrible.I'll take on 100% of Lucic's contract with the 8th OA pick and offer you Primeau from the Habs. If you want more we can talk but I'm not offering anymore more than a grade B asset. Maybe Primeau and a Ikonen type
Would the Oilers value a goalie prospect like Primeau? Habs can spare him cause I think Price is going to be effective for at least another 5 years.
Oilers get to unload Lucic, lose the 8th OA pick but gain a top goalie prospect in Primeau. Hit me with the likes or dislikes
That's quite reasonable, even though I'm not a huge Toffoli fan.
LA is certainly one of the few teams we can guarantee Looch would waive for.
I was thinking of another deal with LA though, not sure what Kings fans would think of this...
To LAK: Looch (1 mil retained), 8th OA
To EDM: Carter
I do realize Carter threatened to retire if he was traded - partially due to his front loaded contract being light in actual salary now - he still makes 3 million next year. I'd pitch to him a chance to play with Connor and Drai next year before he retires. In a worst case scenario, Carter simply retires and we cleared 5 mil in space.
For the Kings, it's roughly even money (cap-wise), but an extra year of term and a downgrade in on ice product..... but an additional top 10 pick. No doubt the Kings got screwed in the lottery, but if they can land Byram with their pick, one of Dach/Cozens/Turcotte/Zegras/Krebs with our pick, then package 33+Leafs pick to get up to 15 and land someone like Suzuki, that would be a helluva draft.

I would offer Oilers to take Lucic at 50% retain their 2nd and Poolparty for a B prospect.

This is not true . He would still need to be protected . The only way a NTC/NMC is void is if they are traded before one goes into effect .
You act like the 8th OA pick is like meh.
It certainly not worth taking on Lucic at 100% salary and Primeau. Not only is Lucic a negative value, his 6 million is a top free agent we can't sign. So, we are losing a top free agent, Primeau and paying 24 million to a player who is worst than Weise?You act like the 8th OA pick is like meh.
