I think the way to look at these is the amount of dead cap created by the contract minus cost to replace with a UFA

So Lucic is probably worth 1mil per year replacement value for the next 3 years.
16.25 mil cap hit so in a non-buyout scenario he’s -13.25 million in value or with a buyout about -11 million

Then you look at a guy like Skinner who probably costs 4 million as a UFA to replace so 28 million in value. So a -35 million dollar value.

The Lucic contract at -4.25 million is probably just as damaging for the next few seasons as skinners -5 million.

On a season by season basis it’s one of the worst. It’s only saving grace is term.
