If Lucic keeps playing the way he is and puts up a 40 point season next year, he could get taken and he might decide not to waive.

Expansion teams ALWAYS go for toughness and Looch will still be one of the toughest guys around. Cap space shouldn't be that big a problem for Seattle.

It's funny, the better Looch plays, the higher the chance he could get taken, and the lower the chance he will waive.

A rejuvenated Looch could end up hurting this team more.

I'm not saying Seattle would take him, but his willingness to waive could decrease if he really enjoys it here.
