Lucic on a 6+ year contract is not something that would be that appealing. I could probably live with 6 years.
If you could get him for 5 years then I think its definitely worth pursuing.
Even if Lucic ends up overpaid by the end of his contract I don't think he'll be a complete boat anchor at 33.
He also effectively saves whichever team's GM from thinking he needs to shore up toughness as long as he is there. That means no $3 million contracts for guys like Engellend and no Bolligs on the fourth line.
There is some definite value in that.
