I still don't know if I'm sold on the player but for Vancouver, this is a trade to free up cap space. To move a $6-million-plus player in a capped out league, I think they're going to have to take something back, whether for a year or two. Lucic, provided he agrees to move, could be very attractive because he comes off the books after this year and is paid little in actual cash. But as others have noted, Flames would likely have to move out more cash beyond this year.
