Value of: Lucic with Edmonton's First Round Pick

[Mcnotloilersfan]

This would be a boneheaded move for several reasons.

1) Edmonton needs to focus on internal development. They actually have a decent prospect pool for once in terms of depth, but it still needs a couple more blue chip prospects, especially a puck moving dman, which this pick will very likely be.

2) Lucic has a an all-time low value. For once Edmonton, don't trade your asset at an all-time low.

3) Lucic won't be this bad next year. He won't be worth 6m, but he won't be this bad. I see him bouncing back to 20g, 40-50 pts.

4) Why waste assets to make cap room, when there aren't many ways to spend that money this summer anyways?

We need to stop having these "Value of Edmonton's 1st" threads, we know they're winning the lottery and collectively pretending that isn't a forgone conclusion just makes this business more insulting.

80 games: 10 goals, 24 assists

being spoon fed by the best young player in the world... is that really worth 4.5?

Better look up Lucic and who most of his line mates are

Yup ! I did the lottery about 15 times came up with Edmonton as the winner 3 time 4 times came in 2nd and another 4 times 3rd . Did not want a high draft pick but now we here it would be great to see the fans on HF cry for the next 10 years if Edmonton won it
