I think Anaheim might want Lucic.

Zegras had some teams take some runs at him late in the year last season and I think they could think having Lucic in the lineup might deter some of that.

22 players signed, no remaining RFAs they have to sign. And $18M in cap room.

So for them the $5.25M cap hit doesn't mean a whole lot. They can probably send over a 6th round pick to get Lucic on what is really a 1 year - $1 Million dollar deal for them, and then if they need they can probably move him at the deadline with 50% retained (which is nothing in real money) and get a better pick back.
