I don't think I give them anything of value in return. GGpX accurately pointed out the signing bonuses implications on the buyout. We would pretty much be sacrificing 5M of cap space for the next 5 seasons.
yeah we would be stuck with Quasimodo for the rest of his contract, which is atrocious.
Then again, it is a total Bergivinianesque move. Lose out on signing the guy, say you want a faster younger team then go and trade for the slow old guy who turned you down two years ago
i do not quite think ppl understand how bad Lucic is
Depends what the rebuild strategy is. Lucic is another shitty player like Pleks that you can have on the team during a rebuild. Players like Lucic and Pleks make sure the team kinda sucks to ensure better draft picks.
I think it's more the memories of what Lucic used to contribute to a team.
I do expect him to be better next year as it will be hard to be worse.
But his 34 points flattered him and he is where any play went to die. He could not even receive a pass for large stretches. It was hilarious.
That seems to be worse than a simple age regression.

The value we’re getting is that #10 overall...I may have tunnel vision because all I see is having two picks in the top ten but I don’t see Edm giving up a pick like #10 without at least getting something back.
Lucic is shit, we all know ot but that #10 is a very nice pick to have when you are starting for quality prospects
imagine to go along with #3 you can get #10 and trade Max for another 1st rounder?!?!:thumbup1:
but then you cant sign them because you have Lucic under contract
If we did not have Alzner i would feel better about this Lucic thing.
The issue is how many old declining players can you have making big money in 4 years.
Alzner, Price, Weber, Lucic...then you need to sign your hopefully currently young/undrafted stars.
Now if you plan is to suck hard for 4-5 years okay. Lets look at what we can get for Price and Weber.
I am not worried about Lucic's contract in year 1 or 2...it is from 3-5 i worry.
Which is why edmonton wants him gone...they are hoping to contend now.
Things are getting serious now.Exactly, get rid of Alzner who is actually more than a liability playing 12 minutes a game than Lucic playing 12 minutes a line on a bottom two lines.
I want that #10 overall more than an Olive Garden chicken parmepper
Things are getting serious now.
