Yes actually, Lucic at this point is owed 10 million for the remaining 3 seasons after the flames just paid out his bonus for this season.
That is less than the 10.5 OEL will be owed in the 21-22 season.
A trade where just lucic and OEL change teams saves the coyotes 3 million dollars in actual cash for this coming season.
