I just don't get it. I need more info.
I actually trust Treliving, If he makes a move like this, there must be a good reason for it.
But man oh man, I need to know why.

The reason is obvious.
The team needed a physical addition and this is in large part reactionary to the way we were dismissed in the playoffs.
This allowed the team to try and do that while also getting rid of dead weight, not giving up any quality players or picks and breaking even on bad salary.
Whether Lucic is the right guy is hard to swallow, but the reason shouldn't be a mystery to anyone.
I'm trying to imagine Lucic in our lineup when someone like Zadorov was physically imposing on our forwards in the playoffs and he would have played a positive role IMO.
Sure, there's physical players in the league I'd take before Lucic, but we couldn't get them for what is essentially free and cap hit even.
