1. Lucic mentioned wanting to quit when discussing his time with Peters behind the bench, not the rest of the season to this point where he was having a great time by all accounts playing with Ryan & Dube with his buddy Ward behind the bench
2. No compliance buyouts until the next CBA potentially. Lucic will be long gone by then
3. Even if there were compliance buyouts, most owners wouldn't be looking that direction considering they've already lost millions due to the pandemic. Why throw another $5M or so away just to hand that much or more over to the GM to make his next UFA signing?

Edit - I might be confusing compliance buyouts as well. Thought those were the variety where you aren't penalized against the cap. Still my point stands for any buyout, really.
