Maybe, we should have a conditional draft pick included just in case such a scenario happen like if he perform better we get a higher or additional pick(s). Don't worry bro, I have a crystal ball and I've seen into the future. Eriksson still sucks. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Smashian Kassian Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 If Lucic agrees to waive his NMC 4 the expansion draft, lets do it. Add Benson, Bear or Puljujarvi & swap picks if we can. I dont want to see Eriksson on the Canycks next season. Worst case send him to Utica but I cant take watching another year of Eriksson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Lucic does well? I assume not right? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pears Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 Is there is even a point in doing this trade if we’re not getting one of their better prospects? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

None at all... The most i can see them offering is one of their lesser known (buried) prospects or a late round pick with Lucic for LE. PJ will also take a helluva lot more than Goldy or even a Sutter to get as well so no there wont be a Lucic+PJ for Goldy+LE Edited June 10, 2019 by Ronaldoescobar 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People laughing at us expecting one of their top prospects don’t know how bad Lucic’s contract is or how it will affect our plans a couple years down the road. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That said if we are sending back LE then that definitely limits what we would get back in addition to Lucic imo. Both contracts (while Lucic's is a bit worse) are bad and I dont think the difference between them is as wide as a PJ or 8th overall. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Take it or leave it is all Holland is gonna see. We aren't the desperate team, they are. They are one, maybe two years from McDavid saying get me out of here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well.... that's the basis of a trade like this. Both teams hoping their new players rebound under new circumstances. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would not do the deal straight up ( or with minor add) for LE.. While they are different players it is too lateral a move imo and may even make us worse off. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
messier's_elbow Posted June 10, 2019 Share Posted June 10, 2019 I really like Benning. Seems like an honest hard working guy. His presser today was well done I thought, he’s definitely gotten more comfortable in front of the camera. But if these awful rumours are true, and he trades for Lucic there better be a lot more then just a little sweetener coming back, better be more like a sugar rush coming back if we are taking on a NMC for the expansion draft. Taking Lucic for Erickson without a major add would kill all the good will Benning has made in the last 2 seasons/drafts. I think I’m just giving into the hysteria and I’m being paranoid. I honestly don’t think this happens, unless Lucic can waive his NMC for the expansion draft. Plus Erickson isn’t going to want to play in Edmonton lol! If pigs do fly and this happen, and we lose a guy like Tony Stretcher cause of this, I’ll lose my mind. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
