If cap floor is an issue at all (which I’m not sold on) Lucic is actually good value for Seattle. His cap hit is $6M but next year his signing bonus is $3M and his salary is only $1M. I’m not sure of timing but if the Flames pay the former, it’s a cheap way to get to the floor. Even after that he only costs $5 and 4M respectively and he has an LNTC clause kicking in, so Seattle might be able to trade him as a relatively cheap TDL add to someone, because his bonus works in a similar way.
