Makes sense for Lucic to wanna stay with LA. Closer to home without having to play for Van. Chance to win a cup as their core should remain intact for a few more years. Has had great chemistry with on multiple lines.

And doesn't have to play for Van. Did I mention that already?

The Lecavalier situation have much bearing on Lombardi re-upping Lucic?

Edit: with Schenn, Versteeg, Lewis, Mcbain = 6.1 million of cap room off the books + Lucic's current 3.25.

I could see a 6x6 type deal that leaves the Kings with slightly over 3m.

If Lecavalier retires, that's another 2.25 mil.

If the Kings have to keep Lecavalier due to him changing his mind, having to stick with Vinny and not re-signing Lewis, isn't the worst thing in the world for that team.

But once Gaborik is back from LTIR, that's where the trouble begins.

Lombardi may need to sacrifice a piece, draft pick or prospect, to rid themselves of that contract.

But I don't think the Kings are as handcuffed as some would think.

Oh snap, forgot about Kopitar's 4mill pay increase.

Yup, they're fu****ed.
