Wow, that was a very candid interview.

He goes on to say that when it was announced by everyone on Twitter (losing the C), that it was actually leaked and that neither he, nor his family released that info. That was particularly upsetting to him, he says.

EDIT -- Didn't see the whole other thread... lol my bad!!

you can almost hear him rolling his eyes once that hack hoven started asking questions. it was him that leaked the info months early with unconfirmed sources and brown seemed to be more snarky towards him.
 
he had a NMC so waivers were not needed for his buy out...so I will take that bet

oh sweet! wow. ya he'd be nice then. better than martinez on off side and polak, schenn, (insert project dman here)
 
Geez, Ladue (RH) is probably as good as a lot of the options.
Too bad he didn't turn pro last year and have a year in Ontario
already. He may have had a shot.

Too bad that Gravel or even Forbort are not RH.
Good for Ladue and Cernak, (both RH) they have a chance to
move up fast.
 
Know it likely won't be the case and if the last offer was what the Kings did not sure I want 6X6.
But would be funny if he waited till tomorrow and did what Stamkos did yesterday. Resign with the team he was with.

If that does end up happening I fret that we're going to be having the same discussions about Lucic as we are having right now about Brown (and to a degree Gaborik).

I worry about his longevity as a player.

And a reporter out of Vancouver is stating that the Canucks are out of the Lucic race.

I tend to agree. Which is why I was fine at hearing DL was sticking to his guns at 4-5 years max.
I think the Gaborik talk is way too early. Any leg injury takes time to come back and be yourself. Heck Pearson didn't start to look the same until near the end of the year. And he was a heck of a lot younger.
 
give me one of: Reimer, Khudobin, Johnson, Montoya, Gustavsson, Zatkoff @ $1.5m
give me: B Richards or E Staal or F. Nielsen @ $2.5m - $4m (depending on the player)
give me: Vanek @ $1m - $2m
give me: Hamhuis @ $5m

trade away: one of King or Clifford

call it a day

Vanek - Kopitar - Toffoli
Pearson - Carter - Gaborik
Mersch - B. Richards - Brown
Clifford - Shore/Andreoff - Lewis
Nolan
Dowd
Kempe

Muzzin - Doughty
Hamhuis - Martinez
McNabb - Gravel
Forbort
Scuderi

Quick
Reimer

You're willing to give Hamhuis 5M? Yikes.

I say around 3-3.5M at most.

even at ur mins your adding 10 m and even trading king your at 8 million at best You would need to send both clifford and king to do this
 
Just did some math generalfanager.com is adding suds hit twice. Kings have 7.2M

If NHLNumbers is correct then with Greene being bought out we should have roughly 9.4 million in cap spsce. Which is enough to bring back Lucic. Who i dont think is going to end up like Brown and Richards .

NHLNumbers has Kopitars cap hit at 9.125?
 
Wasn't there some rumor once that Dean tried to get Evander Kane? The current rumor is that the Sabres are trying to move him......

I do not think dollars were the issue...Lucic wanted 8 yrs and the Kings offered 4.
 
Cap friendly has us with 7.9M. Hate not having cap geek that was almost always accurate and up to date.

That seems to be the most accurate, I don't understand where generalfanager is getting the additional $1.125M worth of defenseman on top of Doughty, Muzzin, Martinez, Scuderi, McNabb and Gravel. The difference in the forward group is caused by cap friendly including Mersch, while generalfanager doesn't.
 
If Lucic doesn't see a deal out there he likes, term wise and team wise, he may settle on the Kings best offer. I don't think he's the kind of guy that wants to linger in the off-season waiting for the perfect offer.

The latest rumor has Edmonton at 7 years, 6.5/year. Bye bye!

I also wouldnt be surprised to see him get a NMC of some sort for his family's sake.

Both are obviously sticking points for the Kings.
 
I'd love to see Edmonton offer that ridiculous contract and see Lucic sign there. They're going to regret it in 2 years.
