I don't think signing Lucic was the problem, it's the term, cost and conditions that make it a horrible deal.
And, yes, Calgary has had it's share of horrible RFA signings too. That can not be disputed, but this thread is about E=NG.

One of the few parts of Oil Change I remember seeing was Tambellini with a #### eating grin bragging about how Belanger wanted three years instead of two because he ‘wanted to be a part of what they were building and where they were going’ and saw it as validation of the process.
They literally gave a 33 year old, bottom 6 journeyman looking to cash in on his last NHL deal an extra year in the cap era because he blew smoke up their ass. Sums up the Katz, Lowe and OBC era pretty well I think.
