No one is taking on that Lucic deal without major incentive. This years 1st and Lucic for a bag of pucks is about right, although the Oilers might have to include even more. That contract is truly horrible and he has demonstrated every year of it so far just how horrible it is. It's not like this is just one down year. Anything with any value coming back then needs to paid for separately.
