At this stage (trading a 1st to unload Monahan) I think you just have to keep him for the last year even if it's going to cost another high draft pick. It's not like the coming season will be the end of this team's window. This team may be at a point in a four years where they badly need to graduate young players from the AHL and the 2023 draft is a good one. It's possible a team at the trade deadline may value Lucic's toughness and the Flames may even recoup an asset for him. I know he's got a NTC but if he's sitting games in the press box he may be receptive to a trade to play more in what could be his last NHL season.
