Value of: Lucic Cap Dump

[Potty John]

Calgary needs to be as good as possible this year with potential of more star UFAS walking. Ship out Lucic with Valimaki and a third or second if need be to try and get one more impact player.

I see fits with him going to either ANA or ARZ.

I would assume a 7th or future considerations coming back?

Question is, Would Lucic see either of those teams as a fit? He submitted a 10 team trade list on July 1st according to capfriendly, who would he put on it?

I can't imagine Valimaki has a lot of value.

You aren't getting an impact player in any Lucic deal, but you could use the freed up money on UFAs

 

[DJJones]

I say wait it out. Just one year left.

Maybe at the deadline if he can't keep up and they want to go all in.

 

[Captain Mountain]

I can't imagine Valimaki has a lot of value.

Yeah, he's waiver eligible and is currently Calgary's 7th best D-man (at best) who earns 1.5 mil a year and hasn't done much in the NHL (played 9 NHL games last season). I'm skeptical he'd even get claimed off of waivers.

 

[Kaners Bald Spot]

Any interest in Toews at an equal cap hit?

 

[McJedi]

And which UFAs would you spend it on? If Kadri is in the drawer to NYI, there is no one left that really moves the needle.

I guess you’re actually trading for Pat Kane or Meier.

Toews for Lucic. Would have been a fun trade 8 years ago.

 

[joestevens29]

Not sure the Flames should be adding assets to get rid of Lucic. Not unless they have Huberdeau locked up long-term

 

[DFF]

Lucic will be a Flames for life. He is going no where. He already did the team a big favor during the expansion draft. He is loved by the fans and team mates

 

[Gliff]

You have to assume that he has Anaheim on his NTC list, but I would do Lucic and a 2nd to Anaheim.

 

[Tkachuk Norris]

Lucic could be moved but I doubt he is. 1 million real dollars, you know Murray Edwards likes that.

Valimaki I could see moved in a similar cap change of scenery type deal for a forward

 

[GermanSpitfire]

I’d love him in Ottawa. Give us a pick of some sorts and we’ll take on the full cap hit.

 

[innitfam]

The teams which have cap space are likely on Lucic's NTC

Plus, any team regardless of cap room will ask for a big sweetener to take 6M in cap hit... look what it cost for Nemeth and Kassian. Yes those were 2 years but close to 6M in cap space for both years

 

[Langdon Alger]

I’d love him in Ottawa. Give us a pick of some sorts and we’ll take on the full cap hit.

Ummm.…why would we do that? Where does he play? On the 4th line?

 

[GermanSpitfire]

Yep.

Would be a great leader that could help guys like Kastelic and Kelly.
Doesn’t even have to play every night.

The thing is, he almost benefits a team like Arizona because he's only owed a million in salary. The problem with that is obviously the number of teams looking to shed salary and Lucic's trade list. At this point we're just better off to keep him.

you want to move out $7.75M in 2 roster players and expect to get what back?

try including at least a 1st. Neither team needs to acquire them.

And which UFAs would you spend it on? If Kadri is in the drawer to NYI, there is no one left that really moves the needle.

maybe they think Barzal would be available after Kadri signs

 

[Fourier]

Yep.

How would Ottawa even fit in his full cap. Once the Sens sign Formenton and add Lucic I think they would be right at the cap or slightly over, depending on the deal for Formenton.

It’s the summer of Pierre. He’ll make it work.

 

[duxfan1101]

The Ducks would gladly take him at his full cap hit.

Although I have to admit, the possibility of Lucic, Ritchie, Kassian, Nemeth, O’Brien, and Crouse all on the same team is hilarious.

 

[LMFAO]

Anaheim should be over this.

I think their young players would benefit having an old school tough veteran presence like Lucic.

They could also flip him at the deadline for a 3-4th round pick if he has a good season.

More like Nelson than Barzal.

 

[Larry Hanson]

No idea why Flames fans start these stupid threads.
At this point the Flames have no need to trade Lucic, why even start this crap?
Turn in your fan card and go a few hours north where you belong.

 

[Fig]

I don't get the point of this move if there's no specific move in mind for the cap space usage.

 

[Larry Hanson]

Why trash on Edwards? he spends to the cap (or over) every year? stupid.

The Ducks would gladly take him at his full cap hit.

What a glorious shit show.
