I do think Lucic will be traded after July 1 when his bonus is paid, I think the trade will surprise. Not because it will return anything great, but it won't cost much if anything to get rid of.
I could see that argument if this was the final year of his contract, but he's got five more years. You might save $3.5 million this year if you get him after July 1, but you're paying full price in each of the next 4 years, and he'll just keep getting older.
