smithers joe Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 maybe 2 yrs at 2.5 mil a year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jack Fig Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Absolutely not. Power forwards don't usually make it to 30 playing that style. I'm a Lucic fan (except when he goes goofy), and I would not give him anything longer than 3 years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jiggs50 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 I think he's coming and I don't think money is going to be a big issue for him. A 5 yr 30 mill contract seems about right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Finnish Aho Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Can you imagine how much Lucic would be booed in Boston if he signed here? Lucic would sign here for for 4 years y1: 5.5m y2: 4.5m y3: 4m y4: 3.5m i think Benning will be keeping a close eye on lucic, will probably have ascout watch him everygame to judge how much he commends Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crackers Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Why just why? I can simply not understand why people want him on the Canucks. He doesn't fit the direction this team is supposed to be going. If he wasn't a local boy, would you guys still want him here? You should all ask yourself that with every BC player you have fantasies about.

ForsbergTheGreat Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Next year our top 6 could look like: Sedin Sedin Lucic Baertschi Horvat Virtanen Imagine if we could land a chychrun in the draft next year.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

peaches5 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Here's how my list would go for next year Centre: 1: Kopitar - 9 mil 2: Staal 3. Backes 4. Hudler I'm not including Kesler for obvious reasons and Stamkos I could never see making it to free agency. Leftwing: 1: Lucic 2. Ladd Rightwing: 1:Vorachuk - 8 mil 2:Okposo 3:Eriksson Defense: 1:Seabrook 7 2:Giordano If we drop Higgins and Burrows that would give us around 26 million in cap space in 2016-17 not including the amount it goes up. We could easily sign 3 big name UFA's with the amount of cap space we have. We would need to overpay definitely to land them but we can do it. You could mix and match all those players I just Personally think getting Kopitar and Vorachuk would be best and Seabrook is the best Dman.

Phil_314 Posted July 2, 2015 Share Posted July 2, 2015 Lucie gets a $5m, 2yr deal is more like it. Definitely would do something like this, not much else. This team could use an infusion of speed, skill and puck-moving. Hope J.B. doesn't use all the $$$ to sign him when Anze, Seabrook/ Giordano, Voracek, Hudler, etc. are available. Adding Jiri and/ or Giordano as well as Milan would be sweet and a solid foundation laid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DonaldBrashear Posted July 2, 2015 Author Share Posted July 2, 2015 Next year our top 6 could look like: Sedin Sedin Lucic Baertschi Horvat Virtanen Imagine if we could land a chychrun in the draft next year.... Well, if Lucic did come to the Canucks, I doubt he would play with the Sedins for many reasons. Primarily because he is a Left Winger, but also because we need a solid 2nd line, AND a future 1st line. The Sedins would be 35 and lucic 28. No point getting lucic chemistry with the sedins if he wont be playing with them for the future. Better off putting lucic with Horvat/Virtanen on left wing (since Virtanen is a natural right winger) and letting the fireworks explode. Lucic / Horvat / Virtanen = Future #1 line.

LeanBeef Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Lucie gets a $5m, 2yr deal is more like it. I would hope so. However, why would Lucic settle for less money when he's only signing for two years? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nave Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Lucic and Virtanen on the same team would be sweet, but not for that much Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ghostsof1915 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Wouldn't the Canucks be better off signing Seabrook or Karlsson? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SaintPatrick33 Posted July 3, 2015 Share Posted July 3, 2015 Wouldn't the Canucks be better off signing Seabrook or Karlsson? Yes, I sure hope they go the smart route and sign a player worth that much money. Looch is nice, but 7 mill per must mean you put up points and are a gamebreaker. If we sign him to a 7 year contract, it could go worse than the Lu signing, even though Lu was always productive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah but we signed Luongo for 12 years, and he was 30 years old when we signed him to that. So signing Lucic to 7 years when he is 28 years old is a bit different. I think it all comes down to Jim Benning, and what he thinks of Lucic. If Benning thinks Lucic is a stand up guy who will provide us with "loads of meat and potatoes" for 7 years, then Aquaman better break out the cheque book!!!

Lou was arguably one of the top 2 or 4 players in the world in his position. Where is Lucic in the scale of forwards, even wingers? 20th? 30th? That high???

SealTheDeal Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 LOL. I forgot about the NTC. Yeah, $49 million, 7 years, with a NTC. No, If Gillis did it, it would be for a legit discount. More like $4.5M/yr for 8 years with a NMC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaudette Celly Posted July 4, 2015 Share Posted July 4, 2015 Lucie gets a $5m, 2yr deal is more like it. Yup that's my price too, and depending what he shows this year in LA. Play him with the Sedins as their contract runs out at the same time, then we can decide what to do with him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
