At least Hitch doesn't feel the need to sugar coat it and is playing him in a spot where his few minutes a game might be a bit effective. Luc is very good anchor for the team and he is beginning to recognize that.
|
I agree. Lucic is being paid as a top 6 player but he isn't and probably won't again produce like a top 6 player. So you can either keep throwing him out there in a top 6 role and get nothing for it or you can accept what he is, work around it and get something. If all you can get out of him is 40% of the value of his contract in a bottom 6 role, well 40% of his contract value is better than ZERO. Doesn't change the fact it sucks. Does change the fact it shouldn't be like that. It doesn't change the fact that it was a big mistake. But at least find a way to get something.
|
40% is $2.4MM - that's still an awful lot for a 4th liner! With 2-13-15 in his last 81 games, Lucic is probably ideally a ~$700,000-$900,000/year guy.
However, the point still stands. He is what he is. He's unlikely to get better, and we're better off having an effective 4th liner there than dragging down the first couple of lines by putting that boat anchor out with them...
|
I think Looch will earn his money in the playoffs. We just gotta keep him in the bottom six until then and hope MVP McDavid drags us into said playoffs.
What is the alternative? Trade him and two first rounders to the Coyotes for a pumpkin pie? That's literally what it would take and Looch aint waiving the no trade for that!
I remember posing the question on here a while back if you'd trade Milan for Kovalchuck. L.A. might be the one place Milan would waive his no trade for. Back close beside his beloved ocean.
On an unrelated note, I believe those Arizona Coyotes will be playing in Houston in the future.
|
Kovalchuk's deal runs only two more years after this at $6.75MM per season. Also completely buyout protected, but for half as long. He's scored 5-9-14 in 25 games compared to Lucic's 1-6-7 in 35 games.
If I was GM and LA suggested that trade, I could not say yes soon enough.
