If he's actually going to miss a big chunk of the year then that could work great for the Flames.
Lowers the cost of acquisition, most teams will want someone to play right away.
Allows the team to either move on or extend guys with only a year or two left without pressure of trying to make the playoffs.
Allows the Flames to do a mini rebuild over 2 drafts and hopefully come out of it in a better situation.
2022-23 a bunch more cap clears up and there is only 1 year left on Lucic.
