Rasmus_ Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 I don't want McGinn back unless its a 3 year 3M per. He's going to get overpaid by someone else hopefully. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brawndo Posted June 30, 2016 Author Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 McKenzie/Lucic: Rumor out of EDM all week was seven-year deal, $42M. Unconfirmed rumor today could be as high as $6.5M per. #Oilers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How high would you go at 3 years? I'd go 4mil But would you go 3.75? 3.5? 3.25? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thorny Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 Term would be fine if he were younger ;) 5 years doesn't seem too bad to me. What is he? 28? He's a really good player. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WildCard Posted June 30, 2016 Report Share Posted June 30, 2016 He is a deterrent on the ice to those wishing to take liberties with Jack or Sam. Lucic is actually very good possession wise and overall. Will Kane outscore him? Probably. But with McDavid in the middle, all Lucic has to do is play the boards and go to the net. I don't think he's there to protect McDavid Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He is, but is he that much better than Ryan Callahan was when he signed that monster extension turned albatross? I don't believe so. Guys around that talent level really do tend to obey the aging curve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Randall Flagg Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 Haha. Wait - what about middle 6. Fun! Also: IIRC, Eichel was super good buds with McGinn. Yep he was, they were hanging out this summer at one point based on an Instagram photo No McGinn for me, either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any offensive contributions are icing.Just because they have a similar possession style doesn't mean they play the same game at all.

3putt Posted July 1, 2016 Report Share Posted July 1, 2016 You miss the point WC. The days of John Scott and Bob Probert and hopefully Raffi Torres are waning. The designated enforcer is done. But you still need a deterrent. That deterrent must be able to contribute offensively or defensively but still be a deterrent. That's Lucics value. The Oil have better players in their system but not as intimidating. Yes he will play a gritty game but make no mistake, Chia wants no more clavicle issues. I think he is being way overpaid for his actual value. But it makes sense if McDavid plays full seasons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
