My first thought was: no way does ARI take on an extra $2M in salary. However, in real dollars, they don't. So for them, they get a younger defenseman by taking on Lucic's salary. And in 3 years they are in great shape (they clearly win the trade beyond 3 years)
For the Flames, they save $2M in cap, which they can really use. So for 3 years, it's a really good trade. The problem is the last few years of the contract. But I could see the Flames being willing to make that trade-off.
