TSN: The Oilers and Lucic

[The List Of Jericho]

Countdown to TradeCentre: What to do with Lucic? - Article - TSN

Saw this coming in the summer..... "Lucic carries a $6 million cap hit on the seven-year contract he signed with the Oilers in July of 2016. TSN Hockey Insider Darren Dreger said Thursday the Oilers knew the contract would be considered overvalued at some point, but didn't expect it to happen in just his second season."

Pacioretty + Drouin for Lucic + Draisaitl.

 

[Liver King]

Ryan for Lucic?

bad contract swap

 

[Minnesnota]

Why would any team want Lucic at that price?

Every competent GM knows the Oilers are absolutely f***ed with that contract.

 

[Halla]

Lucic getting 45-55pts isnt even worth 6mil.
how about when he is 33 or 34 and only getting 30pts?

yikes. oil need to blow it all up. awful management

 

[Nakawick]

Well, the Oilers are going to have to either eat some salary or take back an ugly contract.

 

[Albus Dumbledore]

good luck.

 

[Not Sure]

Everyone around the league knew his style of play wouldnt translate to a long productive career. What happened to all that talk about how hes still young and can live up to the contract?

 

[darkwingduck]

Might be one of those contracts you have to red paperclip. Don't think you'll find a perfect contract or trade, but you can keep trading for incrementally better.

 

[Trxjw]

Totally moveable if the Oilers eat salary and offer up a hell of a sweetener.

 

[Avs44]

Is their unprotected 1st rounder coming along with him?

 

[Menzinger]

Lol, and everyone who called it a terrible contract the second it was signed are proven 100% correct

 

[3074326]

I think everyone saw this coming.

 

[BB88]

That will be easy.

So glad Sweeney traded him for a great return.

I could see a bad contract for bad contract kind of deal

 

[Vipers31]

The debates about when or whether at all this contract would turn bad were pretty fun.

 

[naruto]

Ew no1 wants him

 

[TheBeastCoast]

I could see a bad contract for bad contract kind of deal

Where do you find a comparably bad deal? 6 million and 7 years is really tough.

And Bergevin offered more money to Lucic

I'm fairly certain Lucic will be a Hab. Bergevin will overpay because grit, leadership, etc.

 

[SEALBound]

Lucic + unprotected 1st for bad contract + 2nd?

 

[M C D A V I D]

Pacioretty + Drouin for Lucic + Draisaitl.

Hell no lmao. Easier to get rid of that contract than finding a C like Drai.. you should know that, considering NYR were able to dump Gomez's contract on you guys for their #1 D-man.

The debates about when or whether at all this contract would turn bad were pretty fun.

I got torched in the summer by stating that Marleau and his 6 million would be more productive than Lucic......Marleau looks on his way to 25 plus goals.

Lucid+1st for Eriksson+2nd
