Seriously, there is some reputational risk in doing that. But it all depends on what was discussed with Lucic when they asked him to waive. Did they just say “don’t worry, you won’t be taken because of your salary and then we can protect Dube” or did they say “if you waive we will also ask Seattle to take you”. |
You do what is best for the hockey team. If you can move a $5M+ contract that occupies a spot in the bottom six, you do so. This is likely the only opportunity to do so without retaining salary or taking salary back. You lose two years of bad contract and move the team forward. That is all that matters. If you think that keeping Lucic happy over this team's success is Treliving's goal, that might explain why this team sucks so bad. Eliminate mistakes when you can. This is a massive opportunity to rid yourself of a mistake and push the team forward.
