There is no possible way of moving Lucic and his contract. That is a sunk cost with no reprieve.

I'd move Nurse+ for for a top 6 winger for RNH.

That would have to be a massive "plus." Nurse is probably a third-pairing defenseman on most NHL teams. IF he is the centrepiece in a deal the return is most likely a young middle-six 'tweener.

I'd move one of Puljujarvi/Yamamoto+ for a middle second pairing defender.

Again, what? The plan is to move a young NHL/AHL tweeter for an established top four defenseman? What team is making this deal? As of today, Yamamoto and Puljujarvi are both projects, whose value is in the ballpark of high-end but underperforming prospects.

I'd look to sign another second pairing defender in free agency

So, the net result then would be: a third/second line 'tweeter playing on one of the top-two wings, a second-pair and third-pair defenseman playing in the top four with two other #3–4 defensemen, and a project.

Could also probably find a decent 3c as well in free agency.

What an embarrassment of riches.
