Rumor: Rumors & Proposals Thread: Cap Gymnastics

[Jimmi McJenkins]

Lucic, at his current level, is still an above average fourth liner. He contributes to possession and is one of the more physical wingers in the league.

There's a significant gap between the player he should be at his salary and the player he is, but I don't buy any of this buyout or pressbox nonsense. There are worse players on the roster.

I disagree, because the Lucic I watched by the end of the season was player who decided he was finished playing competitive hockey and was going through the motions. He has enough talent and athleticism to manage his "showing" but the end of the year, but it was clear he was not putting forth anything but the absolute minimal effort.

Essential, Lucic has decided he's done emotionally, while not realizing it mentally, and that player, at any contract, is utterly useless.

Interesting that the Canes were able to get a 2nd for Fox and conditional 3rd. I wouldn't have given anything as it seems like a foregone conclusion he's gone to sign with them.

It's likely he signs this year, they wouldn't have offered that without knowing he'd play this season.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

Agreed. Most teams have a mediocre contract or 2 adding up to 6M, sometimes more. He's not the real reason our cap is ****.

Him, Sekera, and Russell take up 15.5 million dollars to contribute extremely little.

Sekera is fine. Russell is tolerable, though definitely not ideal.

Lucic is still a Top 5 worst contract in the league though.

 

[EXTRAS]

What do you guys think the defense looks like next season?

Sekera is fine. Russell is tolerable, though definitely not ideal.

Lucic is still a Top 5 worst contract in the league though.

The are lots worse that are largely overlooked. Top 5 is a huge over dramatic reach, imo.

Off the top of my head;

Callahan. Turris. Kessler. Backes. Eriksson. Ryan.

Eh, it's up there. Turris and Ryan can still contribute, so I don't think they belong there.

Kesler, Eriksson, Okposo, and Neal are all up there. Backes and Callahan are shorter term deals so I wouldn't include them.

Turris scored less than Lucic this year.

 

[Cloned]

Turris scored less than Lucic this year.

He also only played 55 games.

 

[iCanada]

He also only played 55 games.

And had a worse plus minus on a much better team. And he's older than looch too.

Price, depending on the year.

 

[Cloned]

This is only one really bad year for him though. Lucic has had multiple years of bad decline in a row.

 

[alphahelix]

Id trade them 1 for 1 any day. Lucic is the worst.

No. Turris was awful last year too.

 

[Took a pill in Sbisa]

Once you add our backup into the mix we're up to $20M

 

[Cloned]

He put up 51 points.

 

[Cloned]

Turris scored less than Lucic this year.

And he actually didn't score less.

23 points vs 20, in 20+ less games.

 

[alphahelix]

No. Turris was awful last year too.

An injured turris had a decent points per 60 on a low offence team. If he came here the best case scenario is he becomes core top 6 contributor for a long time, the worst case is he covers our 3rd line C hole that we need to fill, and he could do it better than anyone we have had in a while. I dont care if his contract is longer id make that trade ASAP, as long as he gets cleared by medical. LUCIC's very existence is an existential threat to our organization. Terminate his tenure here- with extreme prejudice.

 

[Proko88]

Larsson for Kapanen
RNH for (puck moving RHD)
Maybe... Benning for Brown
Time to shake things up a bit.

 

[GhostfaceWu]

51 points is awful now?

 

[Spawn]

Literally none of this is true.

Turris had more goals, assists, points in 24 fewer games. Had a better plus/minus and is a year younger than Lucic.

I don't really know how bad those guys are to be honest. LTIR seems where they are destined.

 

[herestohoping]

Are we forgetting that Lucic need to take an expansion slot too? Turris, everyday

Lucic is a player we will reap some value in if we ever win again, he is a vet, who doesn’t want to be here, who doesn’t care on a losing team. If we are a playoff team I think they will see some value then, not 6Mil, but not nothing
