I don’t know that Seattle will go after UFAs in a big way. They will get some decent players via the draft. The owners have just spent $600M to get the team, plus all the startup costs. I don‘t think they will be into spending a lot over the floor.

One of the only attractions for them of Lucic’s contract is that his signing bonus means he’s only paid $2.5M over the remainder of the year. Assuming the bonus is paid by Calgary on July 1, he helps get to the floor but only costs $2.5 for a $6MM AAV. The next year he gets paid $4M including bonus.
