To BOS:
Lucic (NMC) - 4 years until UFA - 6 million AAV
To EDM:
Backes (8 team Trade List) - 2 years until UFA - 6 million AAV
I think a proposal built around Lucic and Backes is realistic and makes sense, both for them and their respective franchises. Of course, each player would have to play ball. And EDM likely adds a bit.
Lucic is having the worst years of his career in Edmonton. He'd return to Boston in a heartbeat for a chance at rekindling that old flame. It's no secret Edmonton wants to move him as he's been a complete bust.
As for Backes, his playing time has been limited. He's often been a healthy scratch. Perhaps he would okay the trade if it meant more playing time, and being on a roster that includes McDavid provides some hope to win that elusive Cup.
EDM does this for obvious reasons. 2 years of Backes is better than 4 years of Lucic.
As for BOS, maybe they have faith that Lucic would return to his old form and be the player they thought Backes was when they signed him.
