BCNeil Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 I imagine the Oilers would love to be able to get rid of Lucic. But Gagner isn't what they need either. They need players that play hard. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob_Zepp Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 Lucic is quite possibly the worst anchor contract in the entire NHL and you want to assist a Conference rival of your team by taking that off their hands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IBatch Posted March 5, 2018 Share Posted March 5, 2018 17 hours ago, Blömqvist said: EDM: *Gagner ($1.5M retention) + TOR 1st TOR: Tanev + VAN 3rd VAN: Dermott + *Lucic ($1.5M retention) + *EDM 1st (lottery-protected) Reasons for Edmonton: Immediate and long-term cap relief from Lucic contract (saves $2.85M in cap until 2019/20 and then $4.5M in cap for duration of Lucic contract) Reasons for Toronto: Adding a top pairing defenseman while their big three stars are on ELCs Reasons for Vancouver: Needs more prospects and picks and added toughness in the lineup In this scenario, Vancouver likely has a top-5 pick (VAN 1st) and a top-10 pick (EDM 1st) going into the draft. It's possible that we could draft both Bouchard and Hughes with those picks and with Juolevi we would have three high-end puck-moving defensemen. Our core guys moving forward are Horvat, Boeser, Pettersson, Gaudette, Lind, Juolevi, Bouchard, Hughes, and Demko. If we had EDM first pick Dahlin is assuredly ours.
