I would do it only to give Gallagher his buddy to play with. That would add almost $3M in cap to Edmonton, which in that case they would just keep Lucic. Remove one of them, maybe get a pick out of Edmonton for taking the bigger cap. Unless Bergevin pulls a, "If you are getting Milan Lucic, you don't ask for more."

Metallica 48 Posted June 12, 2018 I got a question...... Why do we want Lucic?? His speed is gone and his power game is useless in today's NHL. Stop living in the past with this guy. Just be glad we didn't get stuck with that contract and he picked edmonton over us. It always makes me laugh that people are willing to take a over paid guy to get rid of a over paid guy. You do know they have buy outs now. If we really want to get rid of these guys buy them out take the hit and move on. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It’s not about Lucic, it’s about the potential to acquire the 10th overall through him Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BCHabnut 261 Posted June 13, 2018 Pacioretty and 2 2nd rounders for nuge, # 10 and lucic minus 2.5 mill per year. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If we consider Pacioretty-Nuge a wash (probably isn’t because of Nuges ages and center ability), two 2nds most likely won’t cut it. I think we’d have to send back a guy like Lehkonen Hudon or Byron, who are cheap, but replace that extra roster player, and still very useful. Pacioretty, Byron, + 2 seconds for Nugent-Hopkins, Lucic + 10th. Chiarelli would have to want cap space a LOT to make that move. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Chicoutimi Cucumber 1305 Posted June 13, 2018 I've been banging the drum on a package centering on Patches-for-Nuge for a while. But if EDM likes Nuge as McDavid's winger, then the trade makes little sense for them, and I doubt their desire to move Lucic is strong enough to alter that equation. But I like pretty much any MaxPac-Nuge proposal in theory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
alfredoh2009 110 Posted June 13, 2018 How about Pacioretty, Byron and two seconds for 10th, Lucic and Strome? I do not know how well Strome is progressing, but some articles on the web seem to indicate that he isn trending up as a 3C/2C Drouin, Strome, Dabault, DLR, Poehling, Evans and the best center available at 10th could be an OK plan B if Tavares doesn't sign here Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He’d be like adding a third Galchenyuk/Drouin. We need a bonafide Center. I know Nuge has moved to wing as well, but not because he isn’t a capable 2 way center, but because of chemistry with mcJesus Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Machine of Loving Grace 749 Posted June 13, 2018 Word is that Lucic wants to leave Canada because he's tired of the pressure so we can thankfully cross him off the trade rumours. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I know how tempting it is, but I don't think we should be making more these Drouin-style "square peg/round hole" deals. Unless there is solid proof that he's just as good at LD (doubtful) and that he's 100% happy playing the left side, we shouldn't make the trade. Otherwise, I would.

But I wouldn't be surprised if someone takes Lucic and it's not a Bickell style pure dump deal. Blues feel like a team who would take him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

JGC21 69 Posted June 15, 2018 At this point any trade that MB makes has to be for a C or LD. Anything else is stupid. Enough already, it’s time we filled the holes on this team properly. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
