Only thing Calgary needs is an upgrade at 1C and a replacement for Gio as he ages.
Trading Lucic doesn't help that. It hurts that. We need every draft pick we can get. Dube, Valimaki, Vary, Pelletier. I've loved how Brad has been drafting. Giving away a first to get rid of Lucic makes no sense. We don't need cap space for 2 years anyhow. Our team is locked in for 2 years.
If we need the cap space that badly in three years we can look at trading Lucic then. Otherwise losing a potential Zary, Pelletier, or Dube for a bit of cap space for two years hurts the team. We finally have some good young guys coming up, rely on them.
We have a 5 or 6 year window. We need to find a couple first line/pairing guys through the draft to succeed.
