I feel like Lucic waving his NMC for Seattle was more of a "calculated risk" on his part. I think he was pretty confident he wouldn't be selected and did the team a solid.
From what you see on instagram and from interviews, he seems to enjoy Calgary and his family is settled in. Obviously just pure speculation on my part, but I don't think he'll waive.
