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. Lucic is not garbage nor a locker room cancer. 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Rarely do UFA earn their worth, you pay for past performances I would rather ignore the high profile ones Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At least LE doesn’t hurt you defensively on the ice. All Lucic can do now is fight. I think that goes both ways. All Loui can do out there is not hurt you defensively at least Lucic can protect the kids. Their both washed up bums which one is the bummier bum is not really worth wasting braincells on. The only correct response here is at least LE's contract expires next year. 1 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've talked about it on here before, 6 million for Lucic was the going rate at the time, and yes he is no where near that value now. But I know for a fact that he turned down 7 million to go play in Montreal because he wouldn't put on a Habs jersey after the Boston days. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the reason why Tanev signed in Calgary, who has made a big difference for that team. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coconuts Posted February 13, 2021 Share Posted February 13, 2021 Oh wow, you mean other teams have players who aren't worth their contracts too? It's not just us with a Loui anchor? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, when Lucic was still in his prime (as lethal for this actual hockey skills as well as his fists), he didn't prevent this guy (Lucic was even actually on the ice at the time) from doing his usual type of head hunting hits: Edited February 13, 2021 by NewbieCanuckFan 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, what about his 5 million in salary? He wasn't very good last year, he was very good for the 1st half only...? Still doesnt deserve a waiver imo, they'd rather ace Devin Shore than him.

JB could sign him for 1 year and at a reduced rate , but who knows what JB has planned as jake and adam are in trade rumors, guess JB waiting to see how the series with flames goes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't, but it is possible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People use hindsight to indicate they would've done a better job I would've done a better job - not hindsighting - I would have signed Okposo instead lol. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
