Boddy604 Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 http://www.todaysslapshot.com/from-the-ice/friedman-on-lucic-kopitar-brown-and-kings-captaincy/ OK, maybe the title is a touch click-baitey. But looks like the Kings still intend to extend Lucic if possible. Also looks like Brown won't be the captain next year. Could leave Brown on the trade table. That's a big, long contract that would likely have a few bites. But, the more these reports come out, the more it sounds like the only way Lucic makes it to Vancouver is if he holds out soecifically to come here. Still possible given it is his hometown and he does have history with Benning but it's looking pretty unlikely. Especially when the team he's with now will get him deep in the playoffs every year. Brown losing captain is interesting though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 LA still has Toffoli, Pearson etc. to worry about too. Won't lose hope on Lucic just yet. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WHL rocks Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I said this a few days ago, They're keeping Lucic, Could package Brown in a cap dump. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheFleetwoodMack Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Brown was in the rumour mill back in 2012, before he body checked the Canucks out of the playoffs and subsequently won the cup. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brown and a 2nd for Vrbata? Just kidding. You guys would probably kill Benning if he did that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Boddy604 Posted January 16, 2016 Author Share Posted January 16, 2016 What do you think it's gonna take for LA to keep him? I'm thinking something close to a 7 mill/5 year deal. Where ever he ends up next season, I'd think he'll be looking to stay. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It won't be until after the playoffs. They don't have a need to trade Brown until summer after they make another Cup run. By then Vrbata will be UFA.

Lockhart Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I'd like love to see Virtanen and Lucic on the same line. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hugor Hill Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 I hope no one touches Brown and they fail to keep Lucic. Of if they do sign Lucic hope it's like $7M for 8years or something crazy. Screw LA. ps I hope Lacavalier doesn't retire and keeps eating cap space. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No one, that's why I said he'd be packaged as a cap dump. Give me a pick to take on that contract and I'd take him on my rebuilding team any day. He'd be tremendous to have around the kids, still has a reputation and respect around the league as Captain of 2 Cup teams, maybe 3 after this season. He hasn't lost his captaincy.

70seven Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Im just fine with not signing Lucic. Id far rather go all in on big Byufglien.... thered still be plenty of $$ to chase another solid UFA like Brouwer. Heck, they could re-sign Hamhuis short term too. sedin sedin hansen baertschi horvat brouwer shinkaruk sutter etem gaunce mccann virtanen hamhuis byufglien edler tanev sbisa hutton markstrom miller draft bpa Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A middle 6 of Lucic-Sutter-Virtanen & Baertschi-Horvat-Etem is downright intimidating. Dare to dream, right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Who's the current captain for the Kings? IMO it has to be Kopitar, after signing this contract that will make him a King for life. He is their version of the Sedins, pure class and leadership.

I'll take him if they give us 3 1st round picks. After we take him we plant cocaine in his luggage.... A lesson from Wisconsin Manitowoc County Sheriff Department.

higgyfan Posted January 16, 2016 Share Posted January 16, 2016 Canucks would have to overpay by a huge amount for Lucic. Why would he want to join a club that is not close to contending, when he can win a cup right away and on a team that will contend for the next few years? Hometown boys don't always want to play for their hometown. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
