According to Botch people around the league think we'll be giving Lucic the same contract as Yandle or more.
Fricks sakes. I'd rather have $8m/4y than $6m/7y

I'm not saying he will be a stud the whole way through his contract, but I would say it's more likely that Lucic maintains a high level of play from age 28-33 or so, and then will start to decline. Perfect. And if we want him gone, I don't think Lucic would be the kind of guy to not waive a NTC (Expect that too... Especially if it brings down cap even a bit) to go to a contender and a place that wants him

I have concerns that a guy like him- not a great athlete to begin with- that plays the way he does will see a hard decline. It's not uncommon in power forward types. I could be wrong but he doesn't strike me as the fitness nut (he may still be in good shape) type like the Sedins, Jagr, etc. Those types often age well. To this point in his career I can't recall any real health problems for him but Father Time catches up to everybody, especially those who aren't outstanding athletes even in their prime.
