Most GMs do that. But man did we luck into not making that mistake. At least LE doesn’t hurt you defensively on the ice. All Lucic can do now is fight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think LE might even score that many points. At least he’ll be one of the few forwards that can defend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucic was willing to take a little bit less money/term to sign here but Edmonton just went over and above to make sure they get him. I still think that Lucic would've been a great fit with us... not worth the money that he would've gotten, but still better then any other free agent that was signed that off-season. Let's not forget the other guys that signed that summer.... Frans Nielsen got a 5 year, 32 mil deal Okposo 6 years, 42 mil Andrew Ladd 5 years, 39 mil David Backes 5 years, 30 mil Darren Helm 5 years, 20 mil Troy Brouwer 4 years, 17 mil People don't have this perspective when they're clamoring on about the bad contracts that are on the books today. NHL was an inflationary place up until last year and the cap had been going up every single year for a long long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NHL was an inflationary place up until last year and the cap had been going up every single year for a long long time. I agree. People use hindsight to indicate they would've done a better job or they 'knew' it would be a bad signing. Except no one knew it would be this bad. Lots of people were clamoring for Benning's head with the Miller trade. And those people have gone quiet with that regard, so they find something else to criticize. In short, people have been looking to hang Benning. Now this latest offseason could initiate it. Signing any one of those contacts are likely going to be bad in the long run. None of the Benning bashers are going to acknowledge that. The Toffoli non-signing, however, looks really bad for this season, no matter how you spin it. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though if the term and amount is the same I would pick Lucic over Eriksson. Lucic at least is still producing points for Calgary and has performed quite well during the playoffs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't want a classless piece of garbage like Lucic around our young players while he disgraces the franchise on and off the ice. It would be a Messier 2.0 situation and I am glad we avoided it. As lazy as Eriksson is, at least he isn't a cancer in the locker room. Edited February 13, 2021 by King Heffy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Sestito Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Eriksson is well liked in the locker room according to every report. Lucic for Neal was an obvious win for Calgary the second it happened. Neal has been awful for like five years. He gets destroyed on defense and can only score pp goals. Lucic is a far better bottom six player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have to ask, you always talk about character of the players but on the other hand talk constantly about ending careers of “garbage” players. So if all you have on your team are character players, who is ending careers of the “garbage” players? 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rekker Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I would of traded LE for Neal beginning of last season but it's time to move on. Buy out Little Things for 2 x 2 at the end of this season and move on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
