I know this doesn't make me a good human being but I'm glad he's struggling. This should teach the oilers not to give out money like it's candy.
didn't Eberle say something about the fans not being so classy when the chips are down? Maroon's wife had been threatened (allegedly) now Lucic about to get run out of town just like Shultz and Eberle!!! Not to mention McDavid being *****ed when he went to lunch with his father lol maybe the fans should turn their volatile attention to management and ownership!!!

So what you're saying is, if you make a lot of money you no longer get to have feelings. Got it.
The Oilers aren't retainingIf I were the Rangers, I’d be interested with some money retained. Say $2m
The Oilers aren't retaining
Sure they are just going to get rid of an extremely overpaid 3rd/4th liner because he holds any real value to anyoneThe Oilers aren't retaining

Sens fan? I think you might have your hands full right now. Maybe don't be glad anyone is struggling with anything right now.

Suck it up buttercup. You are paid damn well and that includes taking the heat when you aren't playing up to the contract you just signed.
Source?
I'll guess your ass.
Lucic is not in a position to be complaining about anything. If he wants out of Edmonton then he should step up his game and make himself tradable. A crappy overpaid player locking out 7 teams is moronic.
The smart thing to do would be to stop reading the media and just live his life and be happy he has a job in the NHL playing with a future Hall of Famer.
@NYR Viper You can do better.
They can also just keep him if the cost to move him serves no benefit for the team. Lucic at 4M dollar cap hit would be a steal of price since he is still capable of 20 goals and 45 points.Sure they are just going to get rid of an extremely overpaid 3rd/4th liner because he holds any real value to anyone
Oilers didn't offer him the most moneyI know this doesn't make me a good human being but I'm glad he's struggling. This should teach the oilers not to give out money like it's candy.
Simple logic.
If the Oilers retain on Lucic, then they find themselves paying another individual to replace him 6 M. They would end up overpaying the individual to replace Lucic.
Instead, they would look to take on other bad contract that could make an impact on the team, like the deal between LA and Ottawa.
If they can't find any suitors, then Lucic can return next season to player for the Oilers. If he doesn't want to play in Edmonton, then he can play in Bakersfield.
What are the Oilers going to give up to acquire that 4 M dollar player? Are they going to trade away their young ELC prospects on a team dealing with cap issues? Or their first?Not sure you know what logic means. If the Oilers retain 2mil and move him they free up 4 mil which would pay for a better player. Shall I list all the 4mil or under players better than Lucic?
No one will want him so it's a mute point.
