Confirmed with Link: LOOOOOOOOOOOCH (Oilers Sign Lucic, 7-years, $6M AAV, NMC)

[Wheathead]

So there are people that think the top free agent this year would've taken a pay cut to sign anywhere?

Give your head a shake. The idea that he signed in Edmonton for what he made last year is good enough.

 

[McNutty780]

Lucic sounds like a straight up guy. He's going to fit well in with our boys.

 

[PBandJ]

Lucic absolutely gushing on McDavid and Chiarelli.

Sounds like a guy who will put his head through a wall for both. I love it.

Guy fits right in with the Northern Alberta mentality. Will be nice to hopefully return to that type of team!

 

[McOvechking]

I ****ing love it. Nobody's gonna touch Connor for the next 7 years. I'm beyond excited right now.

 

[5 14 6 1]

As a Leafs fan just saying congrats guys. Love what Lucic will bring to the attitude of the Oilers, doubt anybody's going to try to take any kind of shot at McDavid with Lucic looming around. Wonder how he'll hold up the last 2 years but who cares when you can still hopefully enjoy the next 5.

Cool to see Lucic protect the saviour.

Exactly my outlook. Love the signing!

 

[PBandJ]

I ****ing love it. Nobody's gonna touch Connor for the next 7 years. I'm beyond excited right now.

And if anyone is dumb enough to try...

 

[Pointteen]

Some of our fans will hate the deal. Most other fans will hate this.

But compared to getting Brouwer, Backes, Okposo and Eriksson I'll take it.

A player who cites McDavid and being "loyal to Peter" as reasons for coming here is great too.

How long have we wanted Lucic in Edmonton? Now that it happens, tons of hate.

Edmonton has a hard hitter on every single line now. God bless.

 

[oXo Cube]

Since when do we sticky these kinds of threads? I couldn't find it haha.

Anyway, too much for too long but whatever. We needed him.

 

[Expatriate]

LOL perfect

 

[Supermassive]

It's amazing how one person can say "3 years and then he falls off a cliff" and then everyone just runs with it. Can't count how many times someone on mains has said something to this degree.

The guy barely misses any games. He isn't made of glass.

The mains are literally littered with pathetic people of low intelligence and too much spare time, who need to resort to trolling others to get their dick hard. It's pathetic. I wouldn't bother with the mains.

 

[McIce Whole]

Okposo gets the exact same deal and fans like it. Ladd, Nielsen and Eriksson contracts are worse because it takes them to 37 but Edmonton is the one getting ripped on the most . Embrace the hate.

 

[5 14 6 1]

He's gonna make a lot of fans in Edmonton when he starts laying big hits on the forecheck, and the first time he drops the gloves to defend Connor. I predict their will be alot of Lucic jerseys in the stands.

 

[CashMash]

Happy.

Missed him on the Bruins already and he was very heartfelt in his goodbyes. Now I get to watch him as an Oiler. 6 mil seems fair, even though the term might be one or two years too long, but if it turns out to be a problem, dealing them doesn't seem too hard.

Good move for the team, I think.

 

[oljimmy]

Had to make this move, good to see it happen, But I hope Lucic is done with the BS crybaby antics and cheap shots. It's one thing to play with an edge, but those things can hurt team morale if they're bad enough.

 

[RuneMcEres]

Fantastic. Of course everyone would have loved it to be a couple of years shorter, we can't complain. That's the market. It's nowhere close to being the worst deal today. Nowhere close.

 

[Fairy McGodfather]

I really hope we have seen the end of byfugliens and such running our guys.

 

[Topkatz]

Love it! Culture change in full swing.

28 year old 55-60 point power forward tied for his best years. Toughest guy in the league that will take care of and mentor our young players.

Love everything about this. People that dont like it dont understand hockey imo.

 

[Why]

So McDavid and Chiarelli landed us the top UFA?????? Should probably fire Chia cause he paid too much............

FTR, Lucic + Larsson >>>>>>>>> Hall

 

[Avenger*]

Lucic on TSN interview says basically the only reason he signed with Edmonton was to be able to play with McDavid (whether on his line or not).

I'm sure the money helped haha.

No. He also stated that Chairelli was also a large part having been in a similar situation with Boston at one point.

 

[McDraekke]

You don't just get to add Lucic to that deal.

Hall and 16th + 33rd for Larsson and Reinhart.
See how stupid that sounds.

If you can use a level-head and get past the trade value, yes you can. It is fairly well known that Chiarelli's confidence in getting Lucic is likely what made the trade happen. Hall out, Lucic and Larsson in.

 

[sepHF]

Lots of term, this could be an ugly one. Hope it works out, I have always liked Lucic

 

[48g90a138pts]

Nurse should be happy he won't have to square off with Lucic again anytime soon.

 

[Dorian2]

Sounds like Lucic holds McDavid in very high regard from his phone convo. Puts him up there with Crosby, Malkin, OV etc.

And he hasn't even talked to him yet.

I'm pretty pumped to get some dirt back on this team.
