Is that team out there? Who knows?
But at $3.7M and only $1M actually owing it's certainly more possible than at $5.75M, full salary, and multiple years left on the deal.

Room addition, cup history and intimidation aren’t worth much if you’re hurting the team whenever you step on the ice. In the playoffs Lucic was maybe the worst skater on the team when some of those intangibles you’re referencing should have been worth more.
$3.75M is better than $5.75M but that’s still way too much for what he can bring at this point IMO. Certainly there are far cheaper options to fight off scary players.
But someone smarter than me said there are suckers born every minute. Actually lots of people smarter than me out there in general so hopefully BT pulls another rabbit out of his hat.
