deluca67 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 More Lucic bashing? Sabres won't win jack squat until we have one. Or two. I'd trade the Sabres #1 pick this year and next for Lucic. I doubt the Bruins would take it though. What's your attachment to this man child? Monster/25-30 goal scorer, what's there to like? :doh: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You shouldn't let the Bruin jealousy blind you to some of the better players in the league. Lucic is the equivalent of everything Sabre fans have been begging for in a player for decades now.

WildCard Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) I'd trade the Sabres #1 pick this year and next for Lucic. I doubt the Bruins would take it though. I'd do that trade for about 10 5 players in the league, more-or-less. Lucic isn't the guy you build a franchise around. He's someone the Penguins need, not the Sabres.

He's someone the Penguins need, not the Sabres. Look around the league. The idea of picking one guy and building around that player is dead and gone. You amass talent. Lucic is a talent unlike any other in the league right now and he is only 25. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wouldn't be. 2 for 1 can be a great deal depending on the one. You don't think the Oilers would give up Nugent-Hopkins and Yakupov (two #1 overall picks) for Lucic?

deluca67 Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 (edited) So you're advocating the Oilers remove their core to build around one player? I advocate adding Lucic to a forward ranks that will include Taylor Hall, Jordan Eberle and David Perron. The Oilers become a team that others will need take notice of. Part of building a team is maximizing assets. Yakupov and Nugent-Hopkins will never bring to the Oilers what Lucic can. You end up with a stronger more effective core.

You end up with a stronger more effective core. All that gives you is an outside team with a neanderthal patrolling the boards. All of those players are wingers, and if the DR era taught us anything it's that centers should be the highest priority. Lucic is great because he plays in a system that is perfect for him. He's on a fourth line with Jarome Iginla ffs. He is a perfect playoff player in that he's physical and he can provide offense, but he's nowhere near the guy you go out and grab if you're a bottom 5 team. Trading our top two first rounders in 2014 and 2015, I'd want one of these players: Crosby Toews Kane Getzlaf Stamkos Even then I'd be weary in doing that trade because the Sabres aren't just one player away from contention. Hell they're not even one player away from the playoffs Edited May 16, 2014 by WildCard Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

qwksndmonster Posted May 16, 2014 Report Share Posted May 16, 2014 WildCard, do you think the objective of hockey is to score goals or something? You win by punching people. Trading Bennett/Reinhart and a top 5 pick in the deep-at-the-top 2015 draft to the Bruins for Milan Lucic would be the surest way to assure Bruins success in the future and Sabres failure.
