Lucic won't bounce back because he has the same flaw Alzner has: He's slow, and he does nothing well.
That being said, if the Subban-Weber deal is any indication, Bergevin is more than willing to take the lesser player with the larger contract back in a one-for-one deal.
The fun part, however, is that Alzner has a seven-team NTC. You can pretty much guarantee that Edmonton is on it. However, he might be willing to waive anyway since he needs a change as badly as Montreal wants him gone. And, if playing in Edmonton keeps him from being bought out sooner than otherwise, he's got a few million reasons to accept the indignity.
