There are a ton of reasons, but Seguin is just the odd man out with a team with too much depth on the Bruins. And I think with how well Lucic played in the playoffs he saved himself from being traded in the off-season.
It does seem strange, but the Flyers dealt Carter, and the Penguins dealt Staal for similar reasons and similar returns. So it's not out of the question in my mind. I could see us having to add a roster player as well, but still a pretty good trade for both sides.
Edit: Bergeron is also expected to sign a long-term deal any day now, and with Krejci's performance in the playoffs the writing is sort of on the wall for Seguin's future.
