...Okay deal.

 

[Just Linda]

LA awaits the punchline of the joke because so far it ain't funny

 

[kilowatt]

that lucic contract is so brutal

not in a million years

 

[Taytro]

Bad for LA. Edmonton jumps all over it.

 

[Kingspiracy]

Lucic, Milan ($6,000,000)



Phaneuf, Dion ($7,000,000)

Phaneuf isn't at $7m because he's been retained to 5.25 or something.

The oil would have to sweeten the trade considerably because of loochs extra few years too.

I wouldn’t trade Seabrook for Lucic. Yet oilers fan think they can get a poor man’s Seabrook? Lol

Doesn’t look like an Oiler fan made this.

Horrible trade regardless.

 

[GoldenSeal]

It's not that hard to jettison Lucic, just retain half of his salary and deep six a bottom six player to cover it. Lucic has value at 3m and a team will pick him up for that, that's not a bad basis for a trade.

 

[Anaheim4ever]

Phaneuf is worse than Bieksa last season & he's younger. He's done as a NHL level player.

So is lucic m, your point?

Few quick reasons why LA quickly rejects this comes to mind:
1) Lucic's contract is longer
2) Dion has retention from Ottawa so his cap hit to LA is less
3) Lucic has a NMC and will require expansion protection (enjoy that Edmonton)
4) LA has more depth at forward (not top line depth) than D and Lucic would block a kid from playing. Dion is not blocking anyone's development yet

 

[Zegs2sendhelp]

But if you guys trade lucic, who will protect McDavid

not in a million years

What about 6 million?!?

I'd rather have Lucic than Phaneuf if they were both FAs & i had to pick one.

 

[Filthy Dangles]

Lucic 12.5% retained (to match Phaneuf's cap hit) might make sense if they had the same years, but they don't. Lucic has 4 more years, Phaneuf 2. Edmonton would still have to add something pretty significant, but they wouldn't.

Those 2 extra years are magnified in buyouts where Lucic would be on the books for 8 years, vs only 4 for Lucic.

I'd rather have Lucic than Phaneuf if they were both FAs & i had to pick one.

But they are not FA. One has 2 years and the other has 4 years at about the same $$$. Its an easy answer.

Lucic, Milan ($6,000,000)



Phaneuf, Dion ($7,000,000)

Like normal another fail on your part. We will never take Lucic back worst contact in the league and he needs to be protected in expansion draft.

 

[go4hockey]

Phaneuf isn't at $7m because he's been retained to 5.25 or something.

The oil would have to sweeten the trade considerably because of loochs extra few years too.

They would never pay the price to dump that contract. Plus he need to be protected for expansion draft which makes that price through the roof. He will never wear a King jersey again.

 

[Spirit of 67]

So LA does this because??

 

[AlphaBravo]

I may be in the minority here, but I would be open to a deal around Lucic and Phaneuf. Lucic played really well for the Kings. I don't seem him being a 25-30 goal scorer, but he might still have chemistry with Kopitar and score 15 goals. Edmonton would have to add their 1st rounder in any trade. I wouldn't do a 1 for 1 deal.

 

[deaderhead28]

Lucic, Milan ($6,000,000)



Phaneuf, Dion ($7,000,000)

Ahhh no.

And then look like an idiot when you have to protect him in expansion draft leaving another player open. With that contract he is nearly impossible to move.

 

[tony d]

Yeah, doubt this happens as the deal is presented in the OP.
