Proposal: Would any team take the Lucic contract for multiple picks?

[HolyGhost]

I’d consider a move that includes Eriksson... but oilers would have to add a good sweetener for the extra year we’d have to take on + Loui has been better too.

Eriksson contract is as bad as Lucic. Erikson only has 21 tps and Lucic 16. IN no way shape or form has Eriksson been that much better. I bash oiler fans pretty hard when they get delusional, but you my friend may have been sipping someone's coolaid too much. When you guys do end up moving Eriksson, the sweetner will be just a step down from the sweetner the oilers need to move Lucic.

Before the Koskinen signing, I thought that a Lucic+picks/high end prospects for Schneider from NJ would have made sense, but not anymore.

Oilers should just hold onto Lucic, don't think any team will be interested in taking that contract on until another 2-3 years are over on it.

My point is that even a bad contract for contract move Canucks still wouldn’t offer anymore for him. I highly doubt many other teams would either.

Moot point, but why would Edmonton add to Lucic (who is still an NHL player) for Schneider, who has an equally bad contract, and worse play?

a) less term
b) Schneider could play backup.

It's mainly for point A. But yes, moot point. The Koskinen signing defeats this purpose as I don't think it is effective having 10.5m tied up in goalies.

Brown, zaitzev, Gautier for Lucic, pulujarvi and nurse.

The overpay would have to be crazy to take Lucic with no retention. They'd have to retain at least 1/3 of his deal, and still give up at least a 1st to unload him. In the end, they might just be better off just keeping him and hoping for a new compliance buy out at some point.

I have no doubt Rutherford would take Lucia because literally every move JR has made since June 2017 had been awful.

Lucic + Oilers 1st in 2019 or 2020 for Kings or Habs 4th (From Thompson trade)?

 

[Gordievsky]

This was debated in the Oil forum a few weeks back: specifically, what us Looch's "negative value"? Is it a 1st or 2nd round pick negative, or much more?

I argued that some desperate team with a dumb GM would take him, if not this year then next, if a 2nd round pick (a high one obviously) accompanied him but that argument didnt get a lot of love.

*Bump*

I'm so sorry.

I would be happy for now as an Oilers fan, but the full deal isn't out yet. Neal also has a terrible contract. Let's calm down by acting like everyone was wrong.

Closed, moot point now
