This really depends
- Lucic could waive no consequence
- Seattle picks a defensemen - no consequence
- Seattle picks a forward. We lose the value between the 7th best forward vs the player Seattle would have selected otherwise
We likely lose the option to protect 4-4-1 as then it would be Lucic plus 3 other forwards.
Really they traded away flexibility and potentially the difference between the 7th and 8th best forwards.
