If the Bruins want him it wouldn't surprise me if the Flames don't have to do much more than retain.
Lucic is an absolute albatross at $3.75 million.

He had 1 goal in his last 57 games including playoffs last year.

The only intangibles he has left are big and scary. Chara also had those and he signed for under a million last season.

The only realistic destination for Lucic to me is Anaheim because he might actually want to play there, and they have oodles of cap space.
