• Lucic: Financially, there is no point in buying out Lucic but I would trade him for someone else’s problem of equal value. His presence here as a big free agent signing who has declined to a six-goal scorer is an ongoing negative. At $6 million, there are all kinds of other bad contracts across the NHL that could also use a change in scenery, but don’t think the player you get will make your team a lot better than Lucic does.
