It already has failed.We’re locked into 4 years of Lucic. There’s no escaping this deal if Lucic continues to slide to the point of being unplayable. Which is what we’ve been mocking the Oilers about for 3 years.
Now we’re paying a position locked bottom six 5.25 million.
At no point in time has anyone wanted Treliving to go out and give a bottom six player $5.25 x 4 so why go out and acquire one just because James Neal has put egg on your face.

I’m sorry but these kind of statements when Lucic has yet to even put on a practice jersey for the team is incredibly obnoxious. He may not be any better than last year, but he might also improve. There is absolutely zero way of knowing when we’re still 60 days away from training camp. Lots of people hated the Peters signing and Lindholm trade when they happened.
