La Presse speculating it would cost Deadmonton their 1st to take Lucic off their books.
Without any contract going back to Edmonton I would think 10th overall would be about right to take back that contract.

I'd gladly remove them of that burden at that price.

Simon Boisvert's final top-31 rankings. Not for those who don't like comformist views.
Also worth reading his reasoning behind his ranking in the twitter thread.

interesting
Bokk?
any idea how his picks have looked in hindsight from previous drafts?

Apparently they can’t take salary back without losing a young core player (think Chicago).
Copernicus accidentally gave himself leverage by not signing Markov and Radulov. Let’s see if he’s smart enough to take advantage.

He had Robert Thomas ranked 5th or 6th last year, had Eeli Tulvanen ranked 10th. He had Filip Forsberg ranked first overall back in 2012.
He has a pretty good track record.

As a starting point, sure.
For the 10th overall pick alone, though, no can do. He has 5 more years, his contract is buyout-proof and his production isn't going to be getting any better.
To take Lucic, I'd need something along the lines of:
2018 1st
2018 2nd
2019 1st (Unprotected)
Short of that, nope, not interested.

it is just crazy how bad Lucic was last year
i mean McDavid made Rattie look like an NHLer but could not make Lucic look like one
Lucic played a ton with McDavid and a ton of PP time and still could not produce
He was terrible on the boards especially.

fake example...

How would you make that look like a hockey trade though. Would it be necessary for approval?
For example Mete for Lucic and 1st? Would something like that work?

Last year his top 10 was:
1-Makar 2-Heiskanen 3-Hischier 4-Tippett 5-Thomas 6-Glass 7-Patrick 8-Tolvanen 9-Ikonen 10-Necas
His top 5 2 years ago was:
1-Chychrun 2-Matthews 3-Laine 4-Tkachuk 5-Puljujarvi
So, he's clearly swinging for the fences but he's far from perfect.
With the next lockout in 2 years I bet the new CBA will have 2 compliance buyouts , so maybe it wont be that bad for a team to take on that deal

Pfft. We’re bailing them out. Maybe JDL and a 4th.

I know ....but I wonder if the league would approve a deal that looks like a salary dump with nothing going back to the team dumping.
The deal has to be a hockey one on some level?

Yeah I think this makes more sense, just wait for a buyout opportunity.
