Who's looking for a offensive Defenseman/ Powerplay QB. Looking for a young top 6 forward in return.
Holy hell that is awful for EdmontonOilers clear the Lucic salary for a steep price and get the RHD with a conditional pick.

I think you're underestimating how awful Lucic's contract is.Holy hell that is awful for Edmonton
We're perfectly fine with just dealing with it until the Seattle expansion if that gross deal is the way to get rid of it rn.I think you're underestimating how awful Lucic's contract is.

I estimate there is only a few teams with the financial stability, cap space and appeal to waive the NMC/NTC. The market being so small, the package has to be huge.
Lucic will cost $19M in salary or $24M Cap Hit for the next 4 years for a slow 4th line player with a NMC. If he chooses to not waive his NMC, the receiving team will lose a productive player in the Expansion Draft.
NYI and CBJ traded a 1st + 2nd picks to move injured players to the LVK at the Expansion Draft. Conditional if they never play, so insurance can pay their salaries and they’ll receive a Cap exemption.
Oilers has long coveted RHD-Barrie and frees $24M in Cap space for the player they need. Another $5.5M becomes available if Barrie chooses not to resign and they’ll be compensated by the AVs with a conditional pick.
AVs still might not make this offer. Getting the 2-1sts and Poolparty is enticing, but not at the risk of dead cap space, $$$ and the risk of losing another player at the EX Draft. They’ll likely buyout his contract, toss away $Millions in salary and partially cripple the next 4 years to essentially buy picks/prospects.
If you believe this is a terrible deal, then read the other Forums. Lucic is untradeable unless the Oilers offer a significant package.
Don't you guys already have a left handed Barrie in Leddy?Can Barrie play the left side?

I don't really see the point in Barrie to the Isles...
Marsechault? Vegas could use more Dmen
Is there an equivalent pending UFA that we could go after ?Barrie isn't worth all that much anymore and Vegas probably won't be able to afford dishing out another longterm deal.
We Avs fans are in for a rude awakening when it comes to Barrie thanks to Sakics mistake of not trading him a year ago or atleast at the deadline.
I don't see many teams that would want Barrie that could afford his next contract and that would be willing to give up the type of quality top6 forward we would want in return.
Just look at recent returns for pending UFAs. And I will keep repeating. I'd rather trade him for a return that is the equivalent of a mid-late 1st + B (+) prospect than sign him to his next contract.
Sakic already IMO made a giant mistake by hanging on to Barrie this long. The only thing that would make that worse is if he signs him to a huge longterm deal...
Why are Seattle and Lucic going to do you any favors?We're perfectly fine with just dealing with it until the Seattle expansion if that gross deal is the way to get rid of it rn.
Muzzin?Is there an equivalent pending UFA that we could go after ?
People are taking this Lucic thing way to far. His reverse value is somehow sky rocketing way beyond his actual negative impact to the oilers cap. The oilers don’t have cap room for good players due to a lot of underperforming people, not just Lucic.I think you're underestimating how awful Lucic's contract is.
Next season the Leafs D looks like:Muzzin?
I was going for comparative trade value.Next season the Leafs D looks like:
Rielly-???
Muzzin-Dermott
???-Zaitsev
I don't think TO is letting Muzzin go.
