No one is trading for Lucic, but I'm sure there will be takers for Tkachuk, Gaudreau, Monahan. Gio doesn't have much term left and I think could be moved. Flames may have to retain some salary and maybe take back an expiring deal but I'm sure there are deals to be made.
Nothing is happening right now because teams aren't sure they are in the playoffs yet and there's still too much salary and cap hit to be paid out.
So maybe you don't save that much this season, but you can probably save a lot next season and the season thereafter, all of which could see revenues down from before covid. It could take a few years for ticket revenue to come back to the way it was before, which is why I'm saying it's not a bad time to go through a rebuild.
