inkman Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I was watching NESN last night and the question of the day was what do they do with Lucic. He's got a big cap number, his production fell way off and their going to need some cap relief next season. I hate the guy but I'm curious to see how many of you would want him on the Sabres.

dudacek Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 No, unless they are giving him away. And only partly because he's an ass. He seems to have lost his edge. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LGR4GM Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 He is a LFS and a LW. Desluariers gives us his toughness and Kane easily gives us his toughness plus better production. I think the assets needed to acquire him would be better spent elsewhere. Also why help the Bruins out of cap hell, let them rot. They were stupid to trade Seguin and soon they will be paying for it.

inkman Posted April 15, 2015 Author Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I suppose I'd only want to do it if it was a Hodgson + swap for him. Not sure why they would want to do that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yup, they are about to go in a tailspin. Now watch them get McDavid..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They are the one team I honestly wonder if you could somehow trade #2 for #1 with. But let's not start that. Boston after their cup win did a ton of dumb things. They are going to be the Sabres b**** soon because they lack talent and toughness. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Weave Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I'd take him for the right price. I'm not sure what that price is though. Like porn, I'd know it when I see it. After some more thought, I think at this point he is a 2nd line forward, destined to be a bottom 6 guy in maybe a couple seasons. The price would have to reflect that, and that he'd be overpaid for that role. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doohickie Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I can't think of any compelling reason I would want him on the team. He doesn't fill any need the Sabres have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taro T Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 After they release him to get out of the cap hit; sure, why not take a flier on him. :devil: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nfreeman Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 I would take Lucic in a heartbeat, especially if the Sabres can unload Hodgson in the deal. He'd be a great bodyguard for Reinhart or Eichel (or the other guy, whose name I'm not going to write to avoid a jinx). The Sabres have a ton of cap space, and he's entering the last year of his contract, so the risk would be low -- and he'll have contract-year motivation.

Even though the Sabres now have Kane, Lucic brings something else. Something else that it looks like the Sabres are still missing. That certain attitude, where no prisoners will be taken. Lucic brings that. And I love the sound of his name. Surprisingly enough every one that I hear says it correctly. He must have mentioned how to say it properly at some point.

LGR4GM Posted April 15, 2015 Report Share Posted April 15, 2015 and Bogo... and Kane... we don't need to worry about toughness anymore. This isn't 2007. Ristolainen, Zadorov, Zemgus, Weber, Gorges, Foligno... if only we had someone! Seriously though Lucic brings nothing that isn't already here. If he played RW I might be more inclined.
