I’d be pretty happy if they did that.
If we want to change the culture of the team I think doing something like protecting Lucic - because he’s earned it - would send a pretty strong message.

I'd want at least a 2nd coming back. ie. Backlund for a 2nd and expansion draft considerations (they select Leivo or Ryan or our worst prospect).
I'd still rather keep Backlund and move one of the big 4 not named Elias.

I hope we can take advantage of a team with protection issues and pick up a good young player. We can expose backlund if necessary. I don’t see his contract being overly attractive.

Pretty empty threat since he's owed a full $6.75M
