I posted it half-jokingly in another thread, but after seeing Lucic and Hamilton get shipped out it would no longer surprise me. The Oilers could make a package around that and send Scrivens out for loose change.

better return for lucic than hamilton.

this is surreal

[sureLoss]

Richards likely to be bought out.

[skudr248]

Thats a GOOD trade for Lucic. Wonder what Hudler would get

[SuperMatt18]

Kings better hope this improves them.

Traded next years first already in the trade for Sejkera.

[skudr248]

This Colin Miller guy put up some good points wow

I thought the issue the Kings were having with getting Jones signed is that he didn't want to be stuck as the backup behind a goalie that the team was committed to long term. Rask is signed for another 6 seasons.

Seems more like they want every consecutive pick..

Rask to Dallas for #12
Chara to Florida for #11

Good point, so maybe Rask is on the block... or maybe they're flipping Jones

Seems like a bit of an overpayment for Lucic. He's not bad by any means, obviously. Maybe I'm just measuring against the Hamilton trade too much.

[ForeverFlameFan]

So the Flames get Hamilton when Edmonton had the better package (if they were willing to give up Nurse too), and LA pays up for a pending UFA that they likely can't re-sign next year.

Great day to be a Flames' fan.

Makes sense in the Lucic thread.

[N-E-B]

It feels more and more likely that the Bruins will announce Yakety Sax as their new theme song... WTF are they doing???

[Galakanokis]

How does LA fit this under their cap? More moves must be coming as I don't see a Richards buy out helping all that much.

I also think that is a lot for Lucic and his salary. But he slots into LA's top two lines some where so it could work out really well for them.

[jg13]

What LA gave up for Lucic is almost equal to what Calgary gave up for Hamilton. Hilarious.

[mrdonkey]

What in the actual hell is happening in Boston? They ship out Hamilton, a future franchise D,, for salary relief and then use that space to re-sign McQuaid and eat salary on Lucic? I honestly do not understand this from their perspective at all.
