No, the Lucic trade has hurt Calgary. That contract is absolute poison. Unless they find a way to encourage Lucic to retire the Flames are stuck with that albatross. We're stuck with that garbage for another three seasons. If you are looking or a major reason why the Flames can't improve the top six it is because they have Lucic's contract in the bottom six paying a player top six money who is providing bottom line performance. The fact the team has almost $8.5M tied up in two bottom six players is brutal.
