My hope is that as of March 3rd, 2023 we no longer have to talk about Milan Lucic. Failing that, July 1st, 2023 would also work.
Tree and Looch made the best of their bad situations (signing James Neal, signing in Edmonton), but Lucic at his salary was never going to be a good value proposition. I'm disappointed to see the intangibles of his game result in what it has (nothing), but the trade was still brilliant just to get rid of Neal...but yeah, this team and this player should be moving on from each other as soon as possible.
