I wonder if there's any chance that Ference whispered in Lucic's ear about the Oilers' room being run by the Golden Boys, and warned against signing with a team led by Hall? If Lucic heeds the warning, he could have agreed to sign, but only if Chia moved Hall.

Something like that may be one reason why this deal seemed to come out of nowhere and catch even other GMs off guard. If Lucic made it a condition of signing, Chia had to act quickly.

Even if there's no truth to that, we should try to start the rumour that this is how it went down.
