I'm probably in the minority here as I was a big Lucic fan when he was with the Bruins. It doesn't seem he was as bad as some people say last year, he did score 23 goals. But his playoff production was underwhelming. He obviously has a high risk contract that almost assuredly will bite the Oilers. But it was a case of them clearly believing they needed exactly that type of player.
Is it a known fact there were no real competitors for his services or did Oilers have to outbid people to get the guy they coveted?
