I expect that Lucic will waive to go in the expansion draft.

Assuming he doesn’t mind going to Seattle, you can convince me that he won’t put any restrictions on the Flames ability to give Seattle draft capital to select him.

But as Vegas saw, there were pretty good players available with cap for free or even with draft capital attached. Fleury even brought a 2nd round pick with him.

Lucic is a plug with pretty substantial cap hit attached. The cost to get Seattle to select him would be enormous. It would start at a 1st round pick.
