TSN: The Oilers and Lucic

[Kybb79]

Brouwer is your man. Lucic 50% retained.

 

[Ryuji Yamazaki]

Nick Bjugstad for Lucic (25% retained) + 1st 2018 top 5 protected.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Oilers are going to have to retain at least 25% and take back a poor contract. Thankfully with the Phaneuf/Gaborik swap there is recent precedent.

Lucic @ 25% retained to DET for Nielsen?

 

[sepHF]

Lucic was actually fine up until around 20-25 games ago. I assume it's just a slump, he needs a goal more than anyone right now

 

[Spawn]

Lucid+1st for Eriksson+2nd

As bad as Lucic has been, he's still a younger and better player than Loui Eriksson.

Good luck with thinking the 1st would be going your way.

 

[LAKings88]

I’m sure LA will take him off your hands at 50% retained.

 

[CartographerNo611]

Price (2 million retained)
Alzner
A. Shaw
2nd round pick
Drouin
Carr
Pleks (50 percent retained)

for

Lucic (1.5 million retained)
Klefbom
Talbot
Yamamoto
Nugent Hopkins

 

[M C D A V I D]

Eriksson is much much worse than Lucic with a worse contract. That's why i'd do a Lucic for Eriksson swap with Boeser coming our way and a 1st protected or maybe even Yama going the other way.

 

[CanuckGame39]

Just LOL at oiler fans thinking they will get a nice piece back in a trade for Lucic. Nah guys. You will pay dearly to get rid of him.

I love watching Chiarelli operate as a Canucks fan. It's art. I love it.

Eriksson is much much worse than Lucic with a worse contract. That's why i'd do a Lucic for Eriksson swap with Boeser coming our way and a 1st protected or maybe even Yama going the other way.

He's REALLY, REALLY not better then Eriksson. Louie is atleast very good defensively. Lucic is an absolute pilon.

And how is Louies contract worse? It's for the same money but Lucic has 1 extra year.

It's clear you have no clue wtf you're even talking about. And your trade propoal is embarrssing.

 

[JoemAvs]

Ladd+ 1st+ Bellows for Lucic + Klefbom.

Who says no?

 

[A Loyal Dog]

Price (2 million retained)
Alzner
A. Shaw
2nd round pick
Drouin
Carr
Pleks (50 percent retained)

for

Lucic (1.5 million retained)
Klefbom
Talbot
Yamamoto
Nugent Hopkins

I approve!

 

[Henkka]

Time to get Lucic to Detroit.

We want to be that badass team again. Let's get all dirty shitheads.

Trade for Lucic and draft Brady Tkachuk.

 

[A1LeafNation]

0 goals in 21 games? LOL

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."

And GMs complain about contracts of players LOL!!

 

[McSuper]

What about you stop derailing this thread?

You brought Draisaitl into it . It a Lucic thread and he talking about a package deal for Lucic . Maybe learn what it means to derail a thread as he did nothing of the sort

 

[Funk21]

It’s amazing to see EDM fans think that any GM is going to trade for a player who’s play has fallen off that quickly and likely to only get worse. Given that length of contract and the AAV it’s untradable as is. Even if PC retains his pickings will be slim and he will likely have to sweeten the pot.

 

[Cubs2024WSChamps]

Looch for Seabrook

(Seabrook says no)

 

[Mackiaveli]

LOL. Try Draisaitl+your top 5 pick+Nurse.

Boeser isn’t going anywhere regardless of value.

His deal was bad, almost awful --- don't get me wrong.

This deal is worse. Boeser is great, he's having a great season, but he's a winger. Draisaitl is proven, a more well-rounded talent, and plays a more desirable position. Nurse is still developing and looks like he could be an absolute stud, and a top 5 pick in an insanely deep draft? Are you daft?

On topic: Habs trade Alzner and Shaw for Lucic and a 2nd. We drop two bad (albeit, not as bad, but still considered bad) contracts for one real awful one. Lucic and Gallagher are good buddies, and Lucic would be our CBA buyout if we get a lockout. He would be a decent fit on our 3rd line, and adds some real secondary scoring + grit to our otherwise lackluster lineup. I would be happier if we could keep Shaw because a 3rd line with Shaw and Lucic would be very nice, but I imagine Edmonton wants to desperately avoid retaining?

He's someone I'd take on during Free Agency as opposed to the draft --- we want to try for Tavares and can't have that much dead cap if we want a player like that. Maybe a deal with RNH/Lucic coming back makes some sense IF we can't get JT

 

[DrJustice]

The answer is obviously Lucic for Parise

 

[These Are The Days]

Are they trading a 39 and a half foot pole too so someone will actually touch that contract or are they planning on eating salary?

But how many of us thought this the second it was signed?

 

[justafan22]

5 more years on that deal LMAO!

 

[Lemieuxs]

If the Rangers can trade Gomez then the Oilers can trade Lucic.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

The hilarious thing is Lucic actually had a really good first half. Bottom completely fell out here though.

 

[TheDoldrums]

Throwback to a few months ago when I was ridiculed by some clown for arguing that Hall would be more valuable to the Oilers than Lucic

http://hfboards.mandatory.com/posts/135923729/

Lucic is:

-better defensively, this matters
-turning the page on a losing core, this matters
-more durable, this matters
-a better leader, this matters
-a team first player, this matters
-a player that had valuable playoff experience, a cup infact, this matters
-a grittier player, this matters
-a player that provides a physical element that Hall doesn't, this matters
-a player that can protect McDavid, Hall cannot, this matters

You see what you left out? You have no way of winning this discussion. Just stay down man and stop the beats. Lucic is 46-27-9 as an Oiler. What was Hall when he was part of that oiler losing core?
