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

[LEAFANFORLIFE23]

42 million according to sportsnet.

That contract will be ugly in 3 years tops.

 

[Rayban*]

Thank ****ing god, now PLEASE Edmonton stop sucking and leave some high end prospects for the rest of us trying to rebuild.

 

[Reaper45]

Very interested to see who's going to **** with the Oilers youngins on the ice now with Lucic there. No more pot shotting and trying to bully Connor McJesus

Only thing is he doesn't really do that anymore. But keep wishing.

 

[Tim Vezina Thomas]

Exactly the contract Boston did not want to give Lucic.

It'll be good for the first few years, after that who knows.

 

[Greeneye]

Pretty much what I expected, good move for Edmonton.

 

[Flyotes]

The term. Ow.

 

[Breakers]

 

[Reality Check]

And we now have confirmation of the worst deal handed out so far....

 

[stamkos]

Too long. Should have kept Hall

 

[Marlander93]

Not a bad deal. HF board overreacting like usual.

 

[Shrimper]

Oh Edmonton

 

[MC Ride]

28 year old power forward for 7 years. holy.

 

[Bob Cole]

Good luck with that in 3 years

 

[DocWest]

lol, 7 years.

 

[Plub]

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

True.

 

[Vinegar Strokes]

It's going to be a very bad long term contract. But in the short term, Lucic is going to be a fantastic addition for the Oilers, he's going to do wonders for their young stars by opening up space.

Him and Maroon surrounding those young stars is going to be fun to watch.

 

[Pi]

Yikes. The man has 3 good years left. Good player though and provides an element the Oilers have lacked for years.

 

[PatrikOverAuston]

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

Yes, how dare the Oilers improve their team.

Don't like the term, but the dollars are perfectly fine. Hall's 6 million out, Lucic's 6 million in. I gladly trade the 15-20 point difference for Lucic's leadership, physical play and ability to open up room for McDavid.

 

[Bouboumaster]

Wow. 7 years of Looch at 6M?

Bad. So bad.

 

[Jack de la Hoya]

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

They've been able to negotiate for a week...

 

[roon]

Chia is doing his best Benning impression lately.

 

[ViewsFromThe6ix]

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

yeah they would lol they would hate more

this is a garbage term. AAV is fine, 3 years far too long for a Lucic type.

 

[Tie Domi Esquire]

You can't make this stuff up!

 

[WesMcCauley]

Money is fine, two years to long. 6 mill*5 would have been perfect.

Lmao never change Oilers! Brutal, brutal signing.
