I am way less worried about Tanev’s skill level in 3 years than Gio in 2. He plays a smart D that relies on IQ and position more than strength or speed. I could see him playing to Gio’s age.

Now, if you could pull off your deal, sure, though the 2021 draft is no beauty. But to drop Lucic’s salary? OK. The problem is Lucic has to waive and, in fairness, you’d better tell him that he’s going to be taken if he does. Right now he’d probably waive but secure in the knowledge that it’s not going to matter to his future here.
