The only team below the floor currently is Arizona. Don't think Lucic would have much interest going there in a contract year, wouldn't help boost his stock for getting a contract next season.
Lucic now has a 10 team trade list.

I've mentioned this before, there is a way to keep him and remove the big cap hit, trade him to say Arizona along with a prospect for a late pick, have that team buy him out (cap hit $4,666.666) (real money $291k) and re-sign him as a free agent.
