Regarding trading Lucic ....

It seems whenever a team has an anchor contract the fans seem to think there will be a team out there who needs to get to the cap floor and the fans think they will be doing said team a favor to get rid of said contract, but it seems like NEVER happens. Am I wrong and is there a good amount of examples and not just one offs?

Are people actually going to be disappointing in BT if he doesn't rid us of Lucic at the cost of a FLAMES 4th rounder or less, never mind a 4th coming back?

I know Looch's actual salary is way less then his AVV but it just seems like wrong expectations are set. All I think of is Arizona a couple years ago making bank in draft picks to pick up anchors, and I think that was fairly unique, wasn't it?

If you think we can trade him, what is the trade?
