I don't like this. I thought Lucic was under contract for two more years - it's four.

This is a whole heap of why bother. Buy James Neal out - 8 years of $1.5M in dead money on a cap that's going to be over $90M in five sucks, but it doesn't suck as much as Milan Lucic.

Who we now can't even buy out to regain cap because his bonuses are so ####ed.

I don't like it. I'm willing to be wrong. I don't think I am. Some of this depends on retention - Lucic @ 50% is livable.

10% retention is only a savings of 600k - I'd rather have Neal.
