Milan Lucic signs with Edmonton [7 Years, 6M AAV]

[CarltonTheBear]

per Lebrun. No surprise.

 

[McGarnagle]

Surely this will prompt some more lopsided Chirelli trades.

 

[TBLeafer]

Big surprise...

Wow, McDavid > Sun  8)

115K per point scored over the last 3 years. I know that they aren't bringing him in for his offense but those last few years are going to be ugly.

If he became a free agent when Clarkson did he probably would have gotten $10mil per year.

Same cap now stretched over 7.  Oilers actually did okay with that signing.

 

[Heroic Shrimp]

Keep it up, Edmonton.  Keep making the Oilers as horrible as possible by the time McDavid is a UFA.

Lucic on TSN saying that Montreal was a serious contender, especially after the Weber deal. God that would have been a perfect ending to the Edmonton and Montreal trades the other day.

Real_ESPNLeBrun: Almost half of Lucic contract is in the form of signing bonus money; full NMC all 7 years and limited NTC (list of teams) last 2 years

See? They didn't need Taylor Hall.

To his credit, Lucic's /60 rates for both goals and assists have always hovered around or over the rate of a 1st liner.

 

[bustaheims]

See? They didn't need Taylor Hall.

But, can Lucic play in goal?

 

[Bullfrog]

No surprise here. I think this is a good fit.

He'll protect the net.

I think the owners of http://www.coppernblue.com/ are going to commit suicide.
