Confirmed Signing with Link: [EDM] Milan Lucic (7 years, $6.000M AAV)

[Canadian Canuck]

Hahahaha 7 years? Lucic will not age well at all IMO.

 

[End on a Hinote]

I guess thos finally ends the "nobody wants to play in Canada" excuse.

 

[Plub]

7 years? Horrible.

 

[ASmileyFace]

This is obviously good for Edmonton in the short term. Will Lucic be worth it after 4-5 years? No way. Better hope the cap goes up.

 

[izzy]

How so?

Lucic is on decline and Larsson is a good 2nd pairing defender

Poor skill evaluation by you if serious

 

[Novacane]

Woof, haha

 

[NewSaskOil]

Lucic with RNH or McDavid will not be a very good fit

Why do you say that?

 

[Joey Moss]

Haters gonna hate.

 

[JurassicTunga]

Have fun with that.

 

[DingDongCharlie]

Pretty obvious that clubs and players talked figures. Do the clubs all face tampering charges?

 

[kingdok]

This is Clarkson level deal

 

[tarheelhockey]

Lol. Brutal.
Larsson and Lucic in, Hall out. Just terrible.

I dunno, Lucic has a winning pedigree and he is hard to play against. Adding Larsson helps them immensely on defense. It isn't that bad a change really.

 

[La Bamba]

Enjoy Lucic for the first 4 years, cry the last 3 years

 

[Kolzilla]

Yuck, wouldn't you rather have Hall for 6 mil per?

 

[fsanford]

Oilers have to overpay cuz they have not won anything, its not a bad deal for next 3 years.

 

[Buckets and Gloves]

Oh man... 7 years 6 million...lol

Good luck with that

 

[amnesiac]

BRUTAL.... better win in the next 2 years

 

[Mitchy]

That is going to be very ugly in 3-4 years.

 

[Del Preston]

I'm ecstatic.

Instant fan favourite.

 

[FreeBobbyFarnham]

$6M avv

 

[ElysiumAB]

Big Oilers fan. Hate Lucic.

 

[XX]

Good luck

 

[Deen]

Lucic's body is gonna break down on him. The money is fine but, 5 years would have been the best fit.

 

[McDoused]

7 years? Horrible.

Who cares. Just move him or buy him out at the end. We saw how easy it is wth Datsyuk this year.

 

[thadd]

Come on be fair guys. If he signed with the Leafs ppl wouldn't be saying all this negative stuff.
