Every game for how long has it been now you wonder, Is this the game Lucic will score a point, even an assist never mind an actual goal. The way he plays most nights I barely consider him to be an NHL calibre player but last night he did some good things, started being physical and that seems to get him into the game more. He'll never earn that bloated contract but if he plays that way more often, at least he has some value to the team. Can you imagine playing against him when he has a full head of steam, he's like a runaway freight train! ( takes awhile to get to full speed and then can't turn very good ) He'd keep you looking over you're shoulder and distract you a bit at the very least. Is there even a way for the team to get out from under that contract? If not, no sense getting too worked up about it. Highest paid fourth line caliber player in NHL history is a record no one brags about.

It's the NHL, where there's still an inordinate number of former hockey players allowed to make franchise-altering decisions for their team. People overvalue grit, power and big hits, and there's a few teams that are always willing to eat a contract in order to A) reach the cap floor and B) pick up an extra pick or two.
There's definitely a possibility that Lucic is tradeable, especially the day after he gets his bonus each year (July 2nd?). It may cost us something to get rid of him, and there's an chance he vetoes a move with his no-move clause, since most of the places we would be most likely able to send him are places with no chance of winning...but that's tempered somewhat with how miserable it has been for him here. I think he'd likely welcome the chance to go somewhere else now.
Again, it's something I'd like to see a competent GM deal with rather than Chiarelli though. I'm scared of how much we'd give up to get rid of him...especially once Chia decided that was the route he wanted to go. If things don't go his way, he could make a grievous error - maybe keeping half his salary while giving up a first round pick...
